Xue Wanshu fired an arrow outside the palace and said solemnly: "How should we respond?"
Li Yuanji thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry about it!"
Xue Wanshu hesitated for a moment and said no more.
As time went by, the fighting at the entrance of the palace became more and more intense. When the second formation prepared by Li Shimin reached the entrance of the palace, the corpses at the entrance had already piled up into a hill.
The soldiers of the Youtun Guards who formed the second formation were divided into two when they rushed to the entrance of the palace. Some of them faced Zhao Chengyong and others and started fighting. Some of them fought their way into the palace along the gap made by the trebuchet.
.
Not long after the soldiers of the Youtun Guard showed up in the second formation, the third formation appeared again.
Xue Wanshu gritted his teeth, gave up on fighting back with his crossbow, and picked up his weapon to prepare for the attack.
Li Yuanji decisively ordered: "There is no need to face the enemy. Leave five hundred people behind to break up the rear. The others will follow me!"
After saying this, Li Yuanji walked towards the back of the hall carrying a broadsword and a bronze bow.
Xue Wanshu grabbed Xue Wanche, who was excitedly preparing to go out to fight with the soldiers of Youtun Guard, and told the other soldiers: "The people from Shenlongmen stay behind, and the others follow me!"
Then he picked up Xue Wanche and ran towards the back of the palace.
Xue Wanche shouted reluctantly: "Why are you pulling me? I still want to compete with the people of Youtunwei!"
Xue Wanshu glared at Xue Wanche fiercely and said, "Shut up!"
Seeing that his younger brother wanted to talk back, Xue Wanshu slapped his younger brother on the head without hesitation, and then he subdued him.
Compared with Xue Wanche's unruly behavior, Li Jiancheng was much more knowledgeable. He paid close attention to Li Yuanji's movements almost all the time. After seeing Li Yuanji begin to retreat, he ran to the back of the palace without any hesitation.
When we were at the screen, we didn't forget to say hello to Zhao Chengyong.
"Cheng Yong! Take the people back quickly!"
Zhao Chengyong felt miserable when he heard Li Jiancheng's greeting.
With a thousand men, he successively faced off against the two thousand men led by Cheng Yaojin and Yu Wenshi, the first military formation composed of one thousand Youtun Guard soldiers, and the second military formation composed of one thousand Youtun Guard soldiers.
.
Now that he was surrounded by nearly a thousand Youtun Guard soldiers, and hundreds of Youtun Guard soldiers were outflanking him from both sides, it would not be easy for him to retreat.
"Your Highness will leave first, and I will arrive soon."
After Zhao Chengyong blocked a wave of attacks by soldiers from the Youtun Guards, he replied to the rear of the palace.
It's a pity that Li Jiancheng ran away long ago and didn't hear what he said.
"This Zhao Chengyong is quite capable. I heard he is one of the few good men under Li Yi. If you can capture him alive, please capture him alive."
Li Shimin sat on the horse, seeing that only Zhao Chengyong and a group of Changlin soldiers were left in the Manlu Hall to resist his attack, he turned his head and said to Changsun Wuji beside him.
As an invincible commander who grew up on horseback, and as a collector of famous generals in history, when he saw a brave general like Zhao Chengyong, he naturally felt close to him.
If it was possible to let Zhao Chengyong go and subdue Zhao Chengyong, he didn't mind giving it a try.
Changsun Wuji hesitated and said: "Your Highness, we have reached this juncture, do you still have the intention to surrender Zhao Chengyong?"
Li Shimin glanced at Zhao Chengyong, who had swung away four or five soldiers of the Youtun Guards with a spear, and sighed with a look on his face: "I won't dislike any number of these fierce soldiers!"
Changsun Wuji wanted to speak but stopped.
Fang Xuanling pondered and said: "Then send another thousand soldiers to kill him and capture him as soon as possible. We don't have much time and we can't waste it here with him."
Li Shimin nodded and sent out another formation.
When the fourth military formation stepped onto the stone steps in front of the Ganlu Palace, Li Shimin ordered Du Ruhui: "You stay here and watch. Once our people capture Zhao Chengyong, immediately take them to the back of the palace with me."
Convergence.”
Du Ruhui solemnly cupped his fists and said, "Here!"
Li Shimin said to the others: "The rest of you will follow me to the rear!"
Changsun Wuji and others all raised their hands and agreed.
When Li Shimin led his people around the Manlu Hall and rushed to the back of the Manlu Hall, Li Yuanji had already arrived at the back of the hall. After looking at the trees on both sides of the avenue behind the hall, he tightened the sword in his hand.
There is no shortcut on this road, and there is no way to retreat. We can only fight through it.
After Xue Wanshu and others rushed to Li Yuanji, he also looked at the trees on both sides of the avenue behind the palace, and then asked with a solemn face: "Your Highness, what should I do?"
Li Yuanji held a big knife with the tip downward and said, "Follow me!"
Without waiting for Xue Wanshu's reply, Li Yuanji took the lead and ran out.
Seeing this, Xue Wanshu gritted his teeth and said, "Follow me, everyone!"
Xue Wanche yelled and followed up, so fast that Xue Wanshu bared his teeth.
"kill!"
When Li Yuanji rushed halfway with a big knife, Gao Shilian and Li Junxian led their men to kill from both sides of the avenue.
Gao Shilian and Li Junxian didn't know where to find a net, and they immediately targeted Li Yuanji.
With a twist of the sword in Li Yuanji's hand, he opened a gap in the net, and then with all his strength, he knocked away a soldier from the Youtun Guards who was holding his hand.
Blood spread all over the floor along the marks made by the broadsword.
"Kill by force!"
Li Junxian gritted his teeth and carried a large spear with a hook to forcefully kill him. He was accompanied by more than a dozen people holding identical large spears.
When approaching Li Yuanji, Li Junxian and the big guns in his tribe's hands stabbed different parts of Li Yuanji's body.
Li Yuanji relied on the strong armor and stomach on his body and ignored the attack of Li Junxian and his group. When Li Junxian and his group handed over the big guns and could not retreat, he quickly waved the big sword in his hand.
It's just a sweep.
The big guns in the hands of Li Junxian and others were either chopped off or smashed in an instant. Some people who used too much force or rushed too fast had their stomachs slashed, and their intestines were along the wounds.
It flowed out.
"Kill again!"
Li Junxian's eyes turned red when he saw one of the tribes being cut into two sections. He called the tribes together and roared with all their might.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I'm here to help you!"
Gao Shilian saw that Li Junxian suffered a big loss with just one attack, so he brought people to help without saying a word.
For a time, there were forty or fifty people gathered around Li Yuanji, all of whom were good players.
Xue Wanshu and others were also attacked from two sides, but they had the advantage in numbers. Even though they suffered a slight loss from being ambushed, they quickly stabilized their formation and began to counterattack.
Xue Wanche had been holding it in for a long time, and finally he was able to let go of his hands and feet to fight, so he was killing with all his strength and screaming excitedly at the same time.
"die!"
Li Yuanji waited until Li Junxian and Gao Shilian brought their people together before letting go and starting to fight.
Wherever the sword passes, you will either die or be maimed.
Li Junxian just couldn't dodge, and a large piece of flesh was cut off. Gao Shilian just blocked Li Yuanji's knife with a horizontal knife. Not only was the horizontal knife cut off, but a big gash was cut in his chest.
The others were even worse. The ones who suffered a slight blow had a big gash on their body, and the ones who suffered a serious blow were almost cut in half.
Blood spurted out everywhere like rain, dyeing everything around him red in just a short time.
Some of the Youtun guards who blocked Li Yuanji's path began to tremble in their calves.
Li Yuanji wiped his face, which was stained red with blood, and greeted Xue Wanshu and others who were still fighting behind him, "Don't be reluctant to fight, follow us!"
Then he waved his sword and spoke in front of him.
Under the arrogant slash of the sword and the rampage regardless of any attack, Li Yuanji forcibly fought his way through the ambush of Li Junxian and Gao Shilian, and retreated to Ganlu Gate with Xue Wanshu and his party.
When Li Shimin arrived with his people, what he saw was blood red.
There is blood everywhere, corpses everywhere, and broken limbs everywhere.
"Even if the Overlord is resurrected, he will not be able to escape such a scene..."
Fang Xuanling tugged at his beard and spoke with a trembling voice.
Although the others did not speak, their faces were solemn and their hearts were twitching.
Li Shimin took a deep breath, frowned and said, "It seems that Shi Lian and Jun Xian failed to stop him!"
Changsun Wuji hesitated and said, "I should have thought of it a long time ago..."
Li Shimin opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
He thought that more than two thousand people would be enough to hold back Li Yuanji, but he did not expect that Li Yuanji was stronger and more cruel than he thought.
"Perhaps King Qi can only die of exhaustion, or he may be accepted by God..."
Liu Shili, who didn't have a strong sense of presence, said hesitantly.
He had a bad opportunity, his status under Li Shimin was not high, and he did not have much voice, so he rarely spoke. He used to be Wang Shichong's man, and served as Wang Shichong's general guard. He was Wang Shichong's close minister. After Wang Shichong's defeat, he also
He was captured, and he was originally going to be executed along with Wang Shichong. Li Shimin thought that he still had some ability, so he exempted him from the death penalty and stayed with him as a personal guard commander.
It was because he was Li Shimin's personal guard commander that he was qualified to launch a coup with Li Shimin.
Otherwise, based on seniority, this kind of thing would not be his turn at all.
After he finished speaking, Li Shimin and others fell silent.
Although his words didn't sound very nice, Li Shimin and others had to admit that he told the truth.
"Are you still going to attack Manlu Gate?"
Fang Xuanling suddenly spoke after being silent for a long time while tugging on his beard.
Compared with the Manna Palace, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend, the Manna Gate, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, is obviously more difficult to defeat.
They had already spent a lot of time ambush Li Jiancheng and chased Li Jiancheng. They also spent a lot of time attacking Ganlu Palace. They would only waste more time attacking Ganlu Gate again.
And they don't have much time to waste.
Li Shimin frowned and said, "How long do we have until we can use it?"
Changsun Wuji, who had been holding on to the time, quickly said: "There are still three quarters of an hour!"
Li Shimin thought secretly: "Can we take down Ganlu Gate in three quarters of an hour?"
Changsun Wuji hesitated to speak.
Fang Xuanling sighed and said: "It won't help if we take it down. King Qi can still retreat to Liangyi Palace and Liangyi Gate. We can only capture Ganlu Gate within three quarters of an hour, and then force King Qi and his party to
Only by entering the Liangyi Hall and launching an encirclement can we have a chance of winning.
The question is, after we take down Ganlu Gate, do we still have time to force King Qi and his party to Liangyi Palace?"
