Chapter 2730 I want to see if these rebels pretending to be Zuotunwei dare to leave the city
Yes, speaking of it, it is my parents' home.
As a biological son, you cannot destroy your parents' home and residence for the sake of meritorious service.
The main reason is that Brother Chu Bi is too destructive and powerful. But without Brother Chu Bi, we can't really let these loyal Zuotun guards protect us all the way. Can we use their heads to break open the palace door?
Li Chengqian sighed for a long time, and couldn't help but turn his head and look at the west gate, which was only slightly inside and outside.
As a large number of Zuo Tun Guards elites rushed towards that direction, at this moment, the rebels who were originally stunned on the city had dispersed into birds and beasts.
I don’t know where my biological father is now? His Highness the Crown Prince, who has not seen his parents for a long time, looks a little sad.
At this moment, Li Shimin stood up from the pony and looked at the chaotic city head with a confused face.
Before, the rebel flags were fluttering above the city, their morale was high, and their troops were in good order.
But just now, on top of the city, things suddenly became noisy, and then the rebel soldiers who had been arrayed on the city wall were like weasels jumping into the chicken coop, and they exploded.
The flags that were originally fluttering in the wind began to tilt this way and that, and the rebels who were originally neatly guarding the city rushed towards the distance along the walls on both sides of the city gate.
Seeing this scene, the elite Guanzhong people outside the city also stood up one after another, looking at this scene with confused expressions.
A general couldn't help but said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, is it possible that someone is attacking the city gate from inside the city?"
Li Shimin shook his head slowly, with confusion on his face, and said unconfidently.
"In the city? Although I have some backup in Luoyang City, I don't have many elites left."
"Perhaps, the rebels in the city saw that Your Majesty was standing still, so they wanted to use a trick to lure the enemy."
As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin and others all looked at General Pang Lang, the very clever cavalry general.
Pang Langjiang, who looked very shrewd, analyzed calmly.
"Your Majesty, please see, there is no fighting on the top of the city, but the rebel soldiers looked panicked and fled along the two wings of the city wall."
"Maybe the city gate will be opened soon, and then there will be so-called reinforcements calling us to rush into the city."
"As long as our army rushes into the city, maybe the ambushes who have been waiting in the doorway and on both sides of the street will..."
"Hey, from what you said, it seems like this is really the case."
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
"..." Li Shimin's eyes were narrowed tightly, and the cold light flickered uncertainly. He was an emperor and a famous general who had been a soldier for most of his life.
On the battlefield, my sense of smell and vision are particularly sharp, just like now.
"If the opponent wants to use tricks to lure the enemy, then their fleeing formation should not be so disorganized."
"Your Majesty, do you mean they were really defeated?" a general asked in a low voice.
"I think it looks like it, but I really can't think of who will fight in the city and defeat the rebels."
"Of course, there is another possibility, but I think it is unlikely."
"???" All the generals looked at His Majesty with confused expressions. What on earth are you talking about?
"Perhaps, that boy Cheng Sanlang did something in the city again that made those rebels afraid..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Shimin saw a large number of soldiers appear on the top of the city.
Subconsciously, he picked up the telescope hanging on his chest and glanced at the city head, and saw the flag on the city head.
"Zuotunwei?"
"No, no, Zuo Tunwei didn't say before that it would take three to five days to reach Luoyang, so how could he appear here?"
At this moment, the originally closed city gate was slowly opening.
Seeing this scene, Li Shimin's face turned cold and he reacted instantly.
"All officers and men, mount your horses immediately and retreat a hundred steps."
"I want to see if these rebels pretending to be Zuotunwei dare to leave the city."
Following the order from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, thousands of elite cavalry immediately took action.
He quickly got on his horse, then retreated towards the rear, and then began to form an array on the gentle terrain.
Until this moment, General Wang Zhonglang, who had just rushed out of the city gate excitedly, saw this scene and was completely stunned.
Subconsciously, he raised his head and glanced at the Zuotunwei flag waving in the wind on top of the city.
Then he looked at the group of elite cavalry in front of him who were already retreating, and felt that there might be some misunderstanding here.
A brigade commander on the side couldn't help but asked curiously.
"General, what's going on? Why are they retreating? Aren't they our friendly forces?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Wang Zhonglang rolled his eyes and said angrily.
At this moment, Li Shimin, who had retreated a hundred steps away and finished reorganizing his team, picked up the telescope. This time, he finally saw an acquaintance in the telescope. It was General Wang Zhonglang, the favorite general of General Cheng Wei of Zuotun.
"Ah, this..." Li Shimin stared blankly at Wang Zhonglang in the telescope, pointing his fingers in this direction for a long time.
Then he led dozens of riders away from the large group and galloped straight towards this direction.
A group of Guanzhong elites who were waiting in full formation were waiting to make a move when they suddenly heard His Majesty suddenly let out a hearty smile.
"I knew it, and I guessed it as expected."
"Cheng Qing is really worthy of being my buttocks. He has broken through Luoyang, hahahaha..."
"Your Majesty just guessed, eh?!"
"How can you die if you stop mumbling a few words? Your Majesty said he could guess it, so he will definitely guess whether you understand or not."
A group of elite generals from Guanzhong started shouting excitedly, and they kept saying flattering things about His Majesty's wisdom.
Although they are all a bunch of rough men, their level of flattery can only be repeated over and over again.
They can't keep up with the toes of those scholars, but at least everyone's expressions and eyes are on point, avoiding the embarrassment of the death of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who spent half his life in the army.
Li Shimin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and with a calm expression on his face, he rode his horse forward slowly. However, when General Wang Zhonglang reached a distance of ten feet, he already rolled off the saddle and dismounted.
"I am late to pick you up, Your Majesty, please forgive me..."
"Wang Qing's family doesn't need to be polite. When did you arrive in Luoyang? I didn't know anything about it?"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Cheng just arrived at Luoyang City at noon today."
"Little Taibao Cheng used thunder cannons to break through the city gate, and General Cheng led his army into the city."
"I came to take over this gate on the orders of General Cheng. I didn't expect that Your Majesty would actually arrive at Luoxia City."
"Flying thunder cannon..." Li Shimin's eyelids suddenly jumped. "It is indeed that boy..."
