However, something unexpected happened when Li Shimin took over the forces in the imperial city. The Demon Sect disciple Yang Xuyan did not surrender, but instead prepared to break out of the Tai Chi Palace.
Yang Xuyan was originally the son of the former crown prince Yang Yong, but he lost his noble status because Yang Guang killed his brother and his father, and was instead used by Shi Zhixuan as a pawn for the Demon Sect to usurp the world. However, Yang Xuyan eventually betrayed Shi Zhixuan and carried out the conspiracy alone.
The plan to overthrow Li Tang and restore the rule of Sui Dynasty.
Yang Xuyan knew very well that once Li Shimin ascended the throne, given Li Shimin's reputation in the hearts of the people all over the world, the Sui Dynasty would never rise again, so he tried every means to obstruct Li Shimin's way to the throne.
But there were so many experts on Li Shimin's side, including Gao Zhong, Xu Ziling, Ba Fenghan and the generals headed by Yan Ling. As soon as Yang Xuyan emerged from the Tai Chi Palace, Gao Zhong concentrated his energy and drew his strong bow.
A sharp arrow hit Yang Xuyan's vitals like a flying meteor, forcing Yang Xuyan back to the Tai Chi Palace.
At the same time, Xu Ziling flew forward and hit Yang Xuyan with the Immortal Seal he learned from Evil King Shi Zhixuan. The surrounding air was distorted, showing the power of the Immortal Seal.
Yan Ling did not take action directly, but he exuded infinite power and suppressed Yang Xuyan in the air, making it impossible for Yang Xuyan to use the fifth level of his tenth level. This is the huge gap between a grandmaster and the warriors below the grandmaster.
Kou Zhong and Ba Fenghan bent their bows and nocked arrows at the same time, shooting powerful arrows. Yang Xuyan managed to block Xu Ziling's palm, and then used his spiritual cultivation improved by practicing the "Wisdom of the Roots of All Laws" to sense the entire scene and hide.
He passed the sharp arrow shot by Kou Zhong, but was still pierced through the chest by Ba Fenghan's experienced and cruel long arrow, and fell to the ground dead.
After dealing with Yang Xuyan, everyone rushed to Xuanwu Gate. It happened that Li Jiancheng also chose this time to launch a mutiny to completely eliminate Li Shimin's hidden danger. The soldiers of both sides lined up in front of Xuanwu Gate to confront each other.
In Li Jiancheng's hands was the Changlin Army he had selected from thousands of people, all of whom were elites in the army with extraordinary strength; while Li Shimin had Xuanjia elite soldiers and Gao Zhong's personal soldiers Feiyun Guards, and Yan Ling's sweeping invincible army
Three hundred soldiers also followed Li Shimin's Xuanjia soldiers into the imperial city. They were following behind Yan Ling and were ready to go.
The square in front of Xuanwu Gate is huge, allowing the cavalry charge to be fully utilized. This is exactly what Li Jiancheng's Changlin Army planned. They rushed out of the north gate of the East Palace, clearing the way with sharp arrows, and rained down arrows on Li Shimin's united army.
among.
As Li Jiancheng is the prince of the East Palace, the Changlin Army is equivalent to his personal guard. Li Jiancheng is naturally willing to spend a lot of money to build the Changlin Army. Today's Changlin Army is well equipped and can be called the best in the world. With powerful bows and crossbows, even
The Grand Master did not dare to fight head-on, so he could only rely on the elite black armored soldiers arrayed with steel shields to block the arrows from the sky.
"Ding ding ding!"
The sound of arrows hitting the steel shield was clear and sweet, but no one present dared to despise these arrows that seemed to be playing music in the sky. The strong whistling wind made people deeply understand the terrifying power of these arrows.
If you are not careful, you will be shot into a hedgehog.
The sound of horse hooves shook the sky, and Changlin's army was about to rush to the Xuanwu Gate under the cover of arrows. Fortunately, Chang He, the leader of the Xuanwu Gate, had already surrendered to Li Shimin, so Changlin's army was not allowed to advance straight in and capture Xuanwu Gate.
"Subordinates, please fight!"
At this time, the arrow rain gradually subsided, and Yan Ling stepped forward and stood side by side with Li Shimin. After Li Shimin nodded in agreement, he got on his horse and led the three hundred soldiers behind him to charge from the road opened by the steel shield formation in front.
The horses are galloping, the wind is blowing in their faces, and the heroic atmosphere rises from the three hundred soldiers of Yan Ling. Under the leadership of Yan Ling, they are not afraid of anything. This is the firm will honed by countless victories.
At this moment, the three hundred soldiers and Yan Ling resonated spiritually, and the evil spirit in the sky connected the entire army. The three hundred soldiers and Yan Ling became one, and at this time, Yan Ling's figure was infinitely taller, and his momentum was like a god or a demon, unstoppable!
"kill!"
The distance from Xuanwu Gate to Changlin Army was approaching in an instant. Yan Ling and the three hundred soldiers seemed to be connected with each other at this moment. They shouted angrily at the same time, thrusting the spears in their hands, and their movements were harmonious and unified, as if they were one body.
Changlin's army was completely defeated mentally, and its morale plummeted. It was unexpectedly attacked by Yan Ling's 300 personal soldiers that the formation collapsed, and they no longer had the invincible momentum to accompany them with a hail of arrows.
"Brother Yan is indeed invincible!"
Kou Zhong from the rear exclaimed in amazement. As the supreme leader of the Young Marshal's Army, Kou Zhong knew the importance of the momentum of the army in fighting on the battlefield. However, this was the first time that Kou Zhong experienced the shocking flames of Yan Ling and three hundred soldiers at close range.
Come, let him understand why Yan Ling's Lingyun Army can win every battle.
"Kakashi, why don't you stop?"
After marveling, Kou Zhong shouted again, which was a question to the enemy general.
Kakazhi was the commander of the Turkic cavalry sent by the Turks to help Li Yuan when he raised his army in Taiyuan. He had a fight with Xu Ziling when he disguised himself to enter Chang'an. He was evenly matched with Xu Ziling, and he was a rare master.
Later, Kada Zhi and Kou Zhong and others cherished each other's heroes and had a good friendship. Therefore, Kou Zhong would persuade Yan Ling to surrender when Yan Ling had the upper hand, and did not want Kada Zhi to make a unnecessary sacrifice.
Most of the cavalry brought by Kadazhi from the Turks have now taken root in the Central Plains, and the idea of being loyal to the Turks has gradually faded away, let alone dedicating themselves to Li Jiancheng's cause. After thinking for a moment, Kadazhi finally put down his weapons and chose
surrender.
Seeing this, Yan Ling also stopped killing and returned to the Xuanwu Gate with three hundred cavalry. As for the remaining defeated soldiers of the Changlin Army, Li Shimin would send people to make arrangements. This is the benefit of fighting under a wise commander.
, Yan Ling only needs to fight hard to kill the enemy on the battlefield, and Li Shimin will naturally take care of the other matters.
Kadazhi surrendered, and Li Jiancheng no longer had any generals who could compete with Kou Zhong and others. Li Jiancheng had no choice but to go into battle and lead the troops in person.
Li Jiancheng rode out and shouted angrily: "Chang He, how dare you betray me and promote you in vain, are you still a human being?"
However, no one wanted to pay attention to him. Only Kou Zhong scolded: "By the order of the King of Qin, whoever surrenders will avoid death!"
Li Jiancheng was so angry that he charged towards Li Shimin's army formation as if he was insane. However, no one from Changlin's army followed him and chose to surrender to the King of Qin by default. This shows how unpopular Li Jiancheng was and was in sharp contrast to Li Shimin.
"Boohoo!"
Before Li Jiancheng arrived at Li Shimin's military formation, arrows from the sky descended first and shot into the bodies of Li Jiancheng and his horses. From a distance, these arrows seemed to be spikes growing out of their bodies, like hedgehogs.
.
On this day, Tang Emperor Li Yuan was seriously injured, and Qi King Li Yuanji and Prince Li Jiancheng died at the same time, declaring that the Xuanwu Gate Revolution had officially come to an end.
After Kou Zhong assured Li Yuan that as long as Qin King Li Shimin ascended the throne, the southern marshal's army would surrender to Li Tang, Li Yuan publicly announced his succession to Qin King Li Shimin at a meeting originally held to form an alliance with Kou Zhong.
What follows is a carnival belonging to the King of Qin and his entourage. After many hardships, they finally come to an end, and there is hope for peace in the world. How can we not celebrate in a big way?
But Yan Ling did not participate in this carnival. Now Yan Ling is busy stabilizing the realm of the Grandmaster. This was originally what he should do after the breakthrough. However, the Xuanwu Gate incident was just around the corner. Yan Ling could not settle down and stabilize his realm because of this.
It is not only related to whether Li Shimin can ascend the throne, but also whether Yan Ling can complete the mission of coming to this world! (To be continued)
