There was lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down.
The strong wind swept through the rain and fog, swallowing up the fighting and bloodshed in the dark night. The firelight was drowned by the heavy rain. The lanterns on the long streets of Kyoto were swept into the air by the strong wind and fell on the bluestone streets. The soaked lantern paper was stained with blood all over the ground. Soon
They were crushed to the ground by the cavalry. More than 30,000 people from the Forbidden Army and Imperial Guards surrounded and strangled the two thousand cavalry.
The ten times more people made this fight extremely difficult. Xie Zhang and Xie Xun were covered in blood and soaked by the heavy rain. They fought side by side out of the Hou Mansion, and the sound of fighting spread from the Hou Mansion to the long street.
The ten-mile long street has become a battlefield!
The Zhenbei cavalry surrounded Xie Zhang, and Xie Xun broke through to the north city gate. The human wall tactics of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Guards caused heavy losses to the cavalry, and they fell one after another.
"Young Master, Master, don't worry about us, you break out!" Fei Ying said in a deep voice, guarding Xie Xun tightly, while Cui Lansong was not far away from Xie Zhang, forming an angle with him.
"Let's go!" Xie Zhang swept his sword across, urging Xie Xun forward. The hot blood splashed in his eyes, which soon became cold. As Xie Zhang broke through the encirclement, he couldn't help but look into the Hou Mansion!
Shuer!
His Shuer is still in the Hou Mansion!
The way forward was blocked and the way back was cut off. It was almost impossible for Xie Zhang to return to the Hou Mansion. The dark Jin Yiwei and the Forbidden Army were chasing behind him, and the way back was completely blocked. They could only be forced to fight outside. Feng Changqing and Su Yuejiao
We have gone to look for Feng Shu, Chen Mo, Lin Sheng, Zhang Bolan and others are all entangled by their brothers. My father-in-law will definitely be able to find Shu'er!
He first escorted Xie Xun out of the city!
The sound of fighting came from far and near. Xie Xun sent three groups of 1,000-man cavalry, led by Xu Zhou and other generals, forming a left-wing force and charging into the encirclement of the Forbidden Army and the Jinyi Guards.
The three thousand cavalry were so powerful that they formed a dead end in the southeast and fought their way out. Xu Zhou shouted loudly, "Young Master, young Marquis, leave quickly! Let's cut off the rear!"
Xie Xun pulled Xie Zhang to the door and ran forward quickly, followed closely by the cavalry. Generals Xu Zhou and Cui Lansong led their troops to cut off the rear. Black archers suddenly appeared on both sides of the ten-mile long street. The prince had already ambushed him, and there were thousands of Jinyi guards.
People formed the strongest archery regiment and lay down on the eaves to shoot arrows.
An overwhelming barrage of bows and arrows were fired at the cavalry.
"Be careful!" Xie Xun shouted sharply, cutting off the flying arrows with his long sword, and the heavy cavalry quickly raised his shield to block Xie Xun and Xie Zhang.
However, no one expected that these were actually bows and arrows made of red sandstone. The bows and arrows were made from red sandstone that was as sharp as iron as mud. They immediately penetrated the shield and countless heavy horsemen were shot and killed on the ten-mile long street.
Lightning flashed through the thick clouds, thunder bursts, the heavy rain could not hide the blood, the whole long street turned into a rich red, corpses piled into mountains, the heavy cavalry used his own body, heavy armor and war horses to form a blockade, blocking the forbidden army and the Jin Yiwei.
Chase.
Lin Sheng chopped off a war horse with his scimitar and roared in the heavy rain, "Your Majesty has an order. Anyone who kills Xie Zhang or Xie Xun will be promoted to a noble rank with a reward of ten thousand liang!"
"kill!"
The Forbidden Army and the Jinyi Guards shouted louder and louder for a while, and the scimitars chopped the heavy cavalry blocking the rear into pieces. They stepped on the scattered corpses and chased Xie Zhang and Xie Xun!
In the dense array of arrows, both Xie Xun and Xie Zhang were hit by arrows, one in the shoulder and the other in the arm. Fortunately, it was not a critical injury. After the two pulled out the long arrow, they continued to fight.
"Brother, the North City Gate must be heavily guarded. Let's go to the South City Gate!" Xie Xun chopped off the arrows around Xie Zhang.
Xie Zhang shook his head, "No, go to the North City Gate. Tingfeng is outside the North City Gate. He must have been trapped by the garrison in Gaoping. Everyone obeys the order and breaks out towards the North City Gate!"
Outside the North City Gate.
Xie Jue traveled back from Ningzhou at night and under the stars. His secret guards Liu Qiba were all in the city delivering news to him. After all, there was a time lag in flying pigeons to deliver messages. Xie Jue brought 20,000 people from Ningzhou, and there was no Zhenbei Hou.
With tokens and tiger talismans, even Xie Zhang could only mobilize 20,000 troops. The Marquis of Zhenbei had extremely strict management of the Zhenbei cavalry, and military affairs were handed over to General Cui of the border guard. After Xu Zhou was transferred to Kyoto by Xie Zhang, General Cui
Xie Jue, who had been restless, traveled thousands of miles to Ningzhou. General Cui did not bother with him anymore. He gave him food, grass, soldiers and horses, and asked him to return to Kyoto as soon as possible.
Xie Jue was not sure whether there had been any changes in Kyoto. Flying pigeons would send messages every day in 678, including the situation in Guli and Gaoping. Six days ago, Xie Jue had received no changes in the flying pigeons.
The toxin in Xie Jue's eyes was detoxified on the eighth day after leaving the capital. When Zhang Ling was giving Xie Xun the antidote, he also developed his antidote. However, Xie Jue asked him to keep it a secret. No matter who asked, it would be kept secret.
On the third day after leaving Kyoto, he took a detour to Ningzhou without stopping along the way.
When we returned to the city, it was a starry night and we didn't dare to delay for a moment.
Xie Jue was afraid that something might happen along the way, so he left 300 to 500 people in each of the twelve cities in the north, and more than 1,000 people in Liancheng. Only about 14,000 people were actually brought back to Kyoto.
The army arrived at Shiliting in Kyoto on the night of Xie Zhang's wedding. They met the army from Guli and Gaoping to reinforce Kyoto. Ten thousand people from Guli and Gaoping had entered Kyoto and ambush inside the city gate, while 40,000 people were ambushing Xie Zhang outside the city.
Jue fought hand to hand and was soon killed.
When Xie Jue met the army in Gaoping Valley, he knew that there was something going on in Kyoto. He made a prompt decision and gave the order to the cavalry to attack the city as a siege.
The miscellaneous troops in Gaoping and Guli are already weak in combat power. However, Xie Jue, Gaoping, and the garrison in Guli are fighting hand to hand, and they have no time to form their troops and can only fight hard.
Although Xie Jue has a cold temper, he does not kill innocent people indiscriminately. He has been in Ningzhou for many years and knows how valuable peace is. He just wants to let the armies in Gaoping and Guli retreat before the difficulties. General Gao, who leads the army, is stubborn and refuses.
He wanted Tieqi to return to Beijing without an edict and be guilty of conspiracy, so he followed the emperor's order to stop Xie Jue.
Xie Jue originally wanted to deal with him again, but when he saw the fireworks signaling the death of the Zhenbei Cavalry coach in the city, Xie Jue became furious.
"I want to go home tonight. Anyone who dares to stop me will be spared!" Xie Jue glanced at the garrison and said, "Kill!"
Outside the city, there were piles of corpses and rivers of blood. It was more tragic than a battle in Ningzhou. The miscellaneous troops in Gaoping and the valley were vulnerable. The soldiers of the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry were all anxious to kill, "Idiot,
Run away, do you want to die by standing in front of me? Go home and drink milk from your parents, this is not your battlefield!"
Not to mention, the army in Gaoping Valley had never experienced the northern battlefield. After being brutally killed, more than half of them actually became deserters!
The Zhenbei cavalry only had the city gate in mind and did not kill indiscriminately. Xie Jue quickly arrived at the city gate.
Xie Jue looked up at the overwhelming city wall. The Kyoto city wall was the most natural barrier, thick and strong. However, the city defenses of Yanyang, an ancient and prosperous capital, had been built decades ago. Over the past hundred years, Yanyang has
Civil strife continued, and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion was blocked outside Kyoto. Amid external and internal troubles, the five generations of Zhenbei Hou Mansion protected the Yuwen royal family.
No matter it was a foreign enemy or an internal traitor, no army came close to Kyoto.
Now, it is Xie Jue of Zhenbei Hou Mansion who is approaching the city.
White light flashed through the clouds, and thunder rolled in with heavy rain, falling into Xie Jue's eyes. Xie Jue pointed his sword at the sky, "Break through this city gate for me!"
