Invincible son

Chapter 1072 1073 [The righteous way in the world is vicissitudes] ([-])
To the west of Kyoto, fierce battles are raging.

The main force of Xiying Xiao cavalry guards was nearly ten thousand fine cavalry, and they were scattered into three charge formations on the vast plain, blocking the only way for the longbow army.

Gu Mang personally led the cavalry at the front, and Su Wu led the infantry at the rear. They charged with a decisive momentum that did not care about their own safety, vowing to clear the road in the shortest possible time and rush to the capital for rescue.

In the northern suburbs, about seven or eight miles southwest of the Shouyangshan Mine.

Half of Wudingwei's infantry and the whole Nanwei's army gave up the protection of the chariot formation, allowing Longxiangwei's cavalry to continue to harass them, and marched southward at full speed while maintaining the roughly complete formation.

Nancheng, the main position of the Beijing Army's South Camp.

Compared with the magnificence and thrilling elsewhere, this place presents an extremely dull and embarrassing situation.From high-ranking generals to ordinary soldiers, everyone stayed on the ground, looking at the direction of the Chinese army's banner in unison.

After the coach Luo Huanzhang issued the command to withdraw troops, no new orders were issued.

In the handsome tent, Luo Huanzhang sat calmly on the main seat, looked at Luo Kedi, who looked sad, and said slowly: "Don't be sad, Pei Yue has always kept his word, since he promised to keep you and those in Nanying Ordinary soldiers who don't know the inside story will definitely do it. As for being a father, I have lived for 53 years and killed thousands of enemies from other countries with my own hands. This life is not wasted."

Luo Kedi mourned: "Father..."

Luo Huanzhang got up and walked in front of him, raised his hand to pat him on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "Back then, under the command of the Duke of the State, fighting for the father was the worst thing, and it was common to cut out the heart and blood of the enemy, so I ended up with injuries all over my body. Now that I am getting old, it is getting harder to support, especially in rainy days, my limbs and bones are all aching, but I can't die, it's really annoying."

He raised his eyes to look at the weapons on the shelf next to him, and said with a half-smile: "A man who should have died a long time ago like Wei father has been living, and a hero who is so indomitable as the Duke of the country is still alive. How funny. Wang Pingzhang is really right. Your father has some kindness, but those kindnesses are not enough to be worth the serious crime of treason. The reason why you want to do this as a father is actually just to seek justice for the Duke."

Luo Kedi's eyes were red, he stared at Luo Huanzhang's resolute side face, and said in a low voice: "Father, my son wants to take you away from this place."

Luo Huanzhang shook his head, and said in a dispirited manner: "Do you know how much Pei Yue has to pay to protect someone like you? What's more, my father has already promised him, how can he break his promise? Why not? I am willing to commit suicide, but I just want His Majesty to issue an order to kill the evil spirits, so that I can cooperate with Pei Yue."

Luo Kedi sighed, and soon realized that his thoughts were very selfish.

Luo Huanzhang said slowly: "Everyone says that His Majesty is a good emperor. In fact, this evaluation is not wrong, but a good emperor is compared to the people of Daliang. , How many of them can die well? No matter how wise the emperor is, he can't escape the words "Great Conqueror."

He turned his head to look at Luo Kedi, and said solemnly: "From now on, I will follow Pei Yue wholeheartedly. In my father's opinion, this trust between monarchs and ministers has been unbreakable since ancient times. Perhaps only he can find the best solution to both."

Luo Kedi was so sad that he couldn't speak, he could only kneel on his knees and salute.

Luo Huanzhang accepted the gift indifferently, then waved his hands and said, "Go."

With tears in his eyes, Luo Kedi kowtowed three more times before getting up and exiting.

Luo Huanzhang removed his armor alone, then returned to the main seat and sat down.

He was dressed in plain white clothes, covering his scars all over his body, with calm and peaceful eyes, quietly waiting for the arrival of the imperial decree.

A ray of bright light came in through the opened door curtain, mixed with floating dust, like this world where black and white can never be distinguished.

……

Kyoto, on the Imperial Street in front of the Imperial Palace.

When the drums sounded, all the troops marched forward with clang.

Pei Yue took the four thousand sharp soldiers of Wuding Guard led by Qin Xian as the vanguard, and the veterans of the Beijing Army recruited by Xiao Jin and Gu Liang as the main force. Offensive without hesitation.

If they were a little later, Wang Pingzhang would have thrown the [-] pawns behind him into the attack, and there might only be a few personal guards left around him.But Pei Yue can't wait any longer, because all parties in today's battle are calculating, and a slight mistake will lead to extremely serious consequences.

He had already heard about the tragic explosion in the palace, and knew that Emperor Kaiping had been seriously injured. Although he couldn't confirm the more detailed situation, his face was cold at the moment, and he looked at the rebels in the distance, and the killing intent in his eyes couldn't be hidden at all.

At Wang Pingzhang's order, half of the pawns were separated and lined up on the long street to the east.

At this time, the killing in the palace was loud, but the rebels still failed to gain a decisive advantage.After shrinking the line of defense, the imperial army successfully dragged the rebels into hand-to-hand combat on complex terrain. Dozens of tall soldiers could be seen fighting together everywhere.

There are thousands of houses in the imperial palace stacked on top of each other. In terms of identifying the topography of the palace, the Xiying rebels naturally cannot be compared with the forbidden army.

Although Wang Pingzhang didn't see it with his own eyes, he has roughly judged the current situation through the successive reports from the scouts.

Liu Zhi and the others could barely maintain their composure, but when they saw that the forward position formed by their own infantry was quickly broken by this sudden army, they couldn't help showing panicked expressions.

However, Pei Yue and Qin Xian each led a group of elite infantry as arrows, rolling in from both sides of the Royal Street, followed by more than 3 old soldiers who had retreated from the Beijing Army, like a wave from the sea and the sky. The rising waves quickly piled up along the endless sea, and then covered the sky and the sun and smashed on the heads of the rebels.

The formation was shaky.

In fact, Wang Pingzhang could foresee this result at the moment when this large army appeared, but he was still unwilling to retreat immediately, because he wanted to wait a little longer, even if it was only for a moment, as long as his main force could defeat the forbidden army, he would bring Let everyone enter the palace.

Because he wanted to meet Emperor Kaiping again, and he still had a lot of things he wanted to ask the Emperor Daliang who had been sitting on the dragon chair for 17 years.

Unfortunately……

"Wei Guogong, what should we do now?"

"My lord, the enemy army is powerful, and we must make a decision as soon as possible."

"Father, after the son is willing to lead the army, I implore father and His Royal Highness to retreat immediately!"

The surroundings were noisy and noisy, and everyone's anxious eyes were focused on him. Wang Pingzhang didn't realize it. He raised his eyes and looked at the chaotic and tragic battlefield in the distance. He saw Pei Yue brandishing a spear and was invincible. The blood-stained shirt on his left shoulder was obviously injured before.

With Pei Yue's current status and the military power he can mobilize, he usually would not face too dangerous a situation directly. It is very likely that the person who can leave such an injury on him is his eldest grandson.

Wang Jiuxuan's face appeared in his sight, and Wang Pingzhang suddenly had a fishy smell in his throat, and then forcibly suppressed it.

He looked into the palace again, the sound of fighting was still there, obviously the imperial army could last for a while.

In the east, the army led by Pei Yue continued to press forward. The Longbow Army was in the west of the city, and the army from the Northern Battalion was also on their way.

Once the final line of defense is breached, he and all the soldiers in Xiying will inevitably be surrounded by heavy siege, and even with wings, they will not be able to fly out of the capital.

The tide is gone.

Wang Pingzhang laughed with a complex expression, and then said to his second son Wang Zhongsi with endless desolation: "Send the order to withdraw the troops."

On his usual calm face, there was a bit of lifelessness in his twilight years.
