Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 865
Chapter [-], His Royal Highness King Qin, Long Time No See

The sky was slightly brighter, and a large number of Zuo Wuhou guards armed with weapons and armor, began to martial the inner city of Chang'an.

Marquis Wu in each workshop led the workshop staff to slowly close the workshop city, and set up cards along the street to strictly prevent anyone from entering or leaving.

The Twelve Generals of the Tang Dynasty were equivalent to twelve military regions, and each military region governed the Zhechong Mansion of the military region under its jurisdiction.Zuo Wuhouwei is a bit special, because it directly governs the defense area of ​​Chang'an City, so all the Wuhous in Chang'an City are under the jurisdiction of General Zuowuhouwei.

Chen Ying held the white banner and the yellow axe, and directly mobilized the army of the Marquis of Zuo Wu to seal the city of Chang'an to prevent innocent people from dying in vain.

Facing the soldiers of the Zuo Wuhou Army in Chang'an City who were unleashing swords and swords, these Chang'an people shut their doors and windows tightly and hid in their homes shivering.

Guo Luo finally took Xiaowei Mansion and Qinwei Mansion with more than [-] people from the two mansions to Nanya.With Guo Luo arresting all the guards of Prince Qin's residence, Chen Ying really put his heart into his stomach.

Seeing the arrival of Chen Ying's Zuo Wu Houwei army, Fang Xuanling sighed, nothing but sighs, ah!

The great changes in Chang'an, ordinary people can still avoid it, but the important officials of the court cannot avoid it.At this time, regardless of Pei Ji who was on duty, Feng Lun, Chen Shuda, Yang Gongren, Yuwen Shiji, Xiao Shiwen, etc. who were not on duty all arrived in Nanya.

However, looking at the soldiers of Zuo Wu Houwei in the yamen, the princes immediately became ecstatic.

After all, Nanya was not occupied by Li Shimin's rebels, which shows that things have not collapsed.

Chen Ying had already changed out of the green leather official robe, although the official uniform was comfortable to wear, but if a cold arrow came, Chen Ying would not even have the place to cry.So Chen Ying quickly found a black Mingguang armor and put it on.

Looking at the anxious ministers in the hall, Chen Ying pressed the handle of the knife and walked into the political affairs hall.

Pei Ji lost his voice and asked, "General Chen, how is your Majesty doing?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "Nanya and Taiji Palace are isolated by the Xuanwu Gate's forbidden army, and the news from inside and outside is cut off. The specific situation is unknown."

Pei Ji was in a state of confusion, anxiously said: "Then what should I do?"

Chen Yinglang said: "You are all close ministers of His Majesty, and now His Majesty's life is in danger, it is time for you to be loyal to His Majesty."

All the prime ministers were trembling with hands and feet, and their faces were ashen.

Pei Ji stood up and said, "Masters, at this moment, the seals of Shangshu, Zhongshu, and the three provinces under the sect are all in the Nan Ya. The private seals in the hands of each of you, whether you have them or not, are not relevant to the overall situation!"

The Tang Dynasty was different from the Qing Dynasty. Although the emperor held the power of the country, as the Prime Minister, he had the power to refute the emperor's imperial edict. If the three provinces of Shangshu, Zhongshu, and Menxia united to issue an edict, it would have the same legal effect as an imperial edict.

Pei Ji looked at the restless Xiangguo, and said in a loud voice: "You have all seen what happened today. The King of Qin disobeyed the Holy Lord and sent troops to the Tai Chi Palace. It is a heinous crime. You all talk about it, how should we deal with this matter?"

Xiao Yu stood up and said, "Pei Xiang, your majesty has always refused to accept the proposal to abolish the crown prince and reinstate the king of Qin. If your majesty had followed your minister's request in the early years, it would not have been so many, and things have changed."

Pei Ji sneered and said: "Haha, you are the only civil and military man in the whole court. You are the one who has the foresight, right? You have advised His Majesty to deal with this way a long time ago. It seems that His Majesty is stupid and did not accept this chapter of you as a loyal minister. This is what made it happen today. , The minister lost his son and rebelled, and all the courts rebelled! Even if the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is a senseless and stupid emperor, he can't use it. You are such a loyal and loyal minister, you can go home and retire!"

Pei Ji finished speaking.

Chen Shuda said: "The old man seconded the proposal!"

Yuwen Shiji also said: "The old minister seconded the proposal!"

Feng Deyi got up and said: "Pei Xiang calm down, what Xiao Gong said is the most reasonable, and now the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, otherwise, it is not enough to calm the government and calm people's hearts. Lun thinks that Pei Ying should make a decisive decision and establish an alliance with the three provinces. And to order the world, the military affairs of Chang'an, commissioned by General Chen, as the basis for the stability of the world!"

Yang Gongren said: "Second!"

Yuwen Shiji said: "It's a great party to seal the letter, and I second it!"

The six ministers of the Political Affairs Hall have the same attitude now, except for Xiao Shiwen's non-cooperation, but he alone cannot affect the overall situation. The three provinces jointly issued a decree of the Political Affairs Hall to deal with Chang'an's military affairs to Chen Ying.

Pei Ji took a pen and wrote the decree on the table, and then five of the six prime ministers stamped it successively.

Chen Ying felt a lot of pressure at this time, and he couldn't help but think of Yang Hucheng during the Xi'an Incident in his head.

Pei Ji took the edict, handed it to Chen Ying and said: "I also ask General Chen to save His Majesty at all costs!"

Chen Ying received the teaching order and after confirming that it was correct, he immediately said: "If you have nothing to do, you can go to Xuanwu Gate with this general!"

All the prime ministers followed Chen Ying, and the soldiers of the Xiaowei Mansion took the lead in opening the way to the Xuanwu Gate.

Chang He, who was standing on the tower of the Xuanwu Gate, saw a large number of Zuowu Houwei soldiers pouring out from the direction of Nanya, and immediately shouted: "All soldiers, prepare to fight!"

Xiaowei Mansion is the only Zhechong Mansion with a cavalry system in Zuo Wuhou. More than a thousand horses gallop along the palace road.

Humanity is, thousands of people fill the city, ten thousand people fill the field, although there are only more than a thousand cavalry, but to Chang He, it feels like thousands of horses galloping together, and the momentum is terrifying.

The atmosphere on the wall of Xuanwumen palace city suddenly became tense, and the soldiers of the imperial army gathered in the camp quickly, and the soldiers of the imperial army on the wall erected their shields, and the small fire in the stove increased, and the oil in the pot Heat it up, and prepare to invite Zuo Wuchang, who was attacking the city, to have an appetizer.

At this time, the cavalry army of Zuo Wu Houwei was getting closer and closer, with banners hunting, people shouting and horses neighing, spears like a forest, swords and armor shining in the light of snow, a blood-devouring cold breath rose into the sky, It's chilling.

Chang He counted the heads with great difficulty, but it was definitely more than a thousand.He grinned at the soldiers: "Congratulations, you have earned thousands more! Don't worry that I can't afford the money, just cut off their heads and exchange them!"

The soldiers let out a burst of laughter, and the tension before the battle eased slightly.

What made Chang He feel at ease was that the cavalry couldn't put wings on the horses, and they couldn't use them in the palace.

However, before Chang He could breathe a sigh of relief, he almost couldn't hold his breath, and blood spurted wildly.

Jing Junhong looked at a large cart appearing in the cavalry formation, and asked curiously: "Old Chang, what is this?"

Chang He said dumbfounded: "I don't know either!"

Of course, Chang He didn't know, this was a soil tank invented by Chen Ying.

Attacking Xuanwu Gate, especially when Chen Ying was the attacking party, Chen Ying naturally didn't want his soldiers to go forward and die in vain, so Chen Ying got a simple version of the earthen tank and reinforced a door panel with a large tank. This door panel was dismantled from the Nanya Wing Room, and it was a full six inches thick.Chen Ying took Pei Ji's cotton cup from Nan Ya's value room, wrapped it on the door panel, and then poured water on the cotton quilt to make it wet.

Don't look at this shield chariot as crude and unusual, not only is it impenetrable to arrows, but even if it is set on fire, it will not burn for a while, unless the torch or kerosene can evaporate the water in the quilt. Two catties of cotton is already heavy, but after watering, it weighs more than two hundred catties.

Pei Ji looked at the very slow-moving car with a very strange appearance: "General Chen, what is this?"

"This is an earthen tank!" Chen Ying subconsciously said.

Pei Ji was startled, and asked suspiciously, "What is a tank?"

Chen Ying said casually: "The tank is..."

Chen Ying suddenly thought that this thing was a product of more than 1000 years later. Even if he said it out loud, Pei Ji would not understand what a tank is, so he had to change his words: "It's an invincible chariot. Don't look at the ugly appearance. , it can prevent both arrows and fire..."

Before Chen Ying could finish speaking, Pei Ji said with a resentful expression: "General Chen, even if you want to prevent fire, if you need it to prevent arrows, you have to tear down the door and make quilts. Isn't it better to just fill the car with loose soil? Not only can it prevent arrows and fire, but even stones can’t be smashed.”

Chen Ying slapped his head, I actually forgot about it.

Chen Ying smiled awkwardly.

The Xuanwu Gate arrived. At this time, Chen Ying held the attitude of giving it a try. He wanted Guo Luo to come forward and persuade him to surrender, but after thinking about it, Guo Luo used it smoothly. A fat middle-aged official in a scarlet colored uniform said among the ministers, "You, it's up to you to persuade you to surrender!"

The middle-aged civil servant was not stage-frightened, and said loudly: "The next official takes orders!"

Looking at the back of the civil servant, Chen Ying murmured: "It doesn't look stupid, why is it a little bit silly!"

Pei Ji shook his head and said: "Master Yan Gu Yan Yixing is not the second, he is the eldest son, his second brother Yan Xiangshi, and third brother Yan Qinli are both young and enlightened, with great knowledge, skilled in seal and calligraphy, especially fine Exegesis, the same as Yan Shigu and Yan Xiangshi, is a bachelor of Hongwen and Chongxian, who revised the classics and history, and his fourth brother, Yan Yude, served as the prince's general staff, and worked in the Sijing school to determine the history of the classics."

Just when Pei Ji introduced Yan Shigu to Chen Ying, Chen Ying was also dumbfounded, how can he just point out that anyone is a historical master?The key is that this big cow is also the ancestor of the historical celebrity Yan Zhenqing.If Chang He's head is hot and he orders him to be shot, Chen Ying will be a sinner through the ages.

At this moment, Yan Shigu came back angrily and said: "General Chen, my subordinates have neglected their duties, disorderly ministers and thieves, obsessed with obsession, everyone will be punished... Please give this subordinate a knife, and I will kill your majesty." This thief!"

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "Good steel should be used on the blade, Yan Sheren should go down and rest for a while, this is just a beast, you guys are here!"

Chen Ying turned around and looked at the officers and soldiers of the Xiaowei Mansion and said, "The Xiaowei Mansion is responsible for suppressing bows and crossbows, and the Qinwei Mansion is attacking!"

Following Chen Ying's order.

The desolate ox-horn warhorn sounded, humming and humming resounded through the sky, and a murderous aura shot up into the sky, filling the space between heaven and earth.In the sound of the horn.

The soldiers of Xiaowei Mansion shouted wildly: "Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

Immediately he rode his horse and rushed over, and with a touch of his hand on the quiver, he grabbed several arrows in his hand. The bowstring trembled, and the arrows shot out like beads. The rain of arrows, almost every crenel has been taken care of.

In terms of riding and archery skills, the Xiaowei Mansion is far inferior to the Turkic people who live on horseback.But the Xiaowei Mansion is better equipped.Under Chen Ying's repeated actions, the life of the Turkic people is very hard now. All they use are horn bows. The strength of the bow is rather poor, and the arrow branches are not much better. There are not many iron arrowheads, and most of them are made of animal bones or flints, so the lethality is naturally greatly reduced.

However, Xiaowei Mansion is not the same, they are equipped with soft steel recurve bows or soft steel crossbows, three-edged arrows made by elites.Seeing the dense arrows coming from Yuan Cong, the forbidden army hurriedly raised their shields to hide, not daring to raise their heads.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the defenders' firepower being suppressed by the crossbowmen of the Xiaowei Mansion, the shield chariot was pushed over. The infantry either hid behind the shield chariot, or carried ladders, armed with swords and shields, and quickly approached the city wall. Let out a howl, menacing.

Chang He said anxiously: "Steady your ground! Stabilize your ground! Let them come over, and we will deal with them when they get under the city wall!"

It's a pity that there are more than a thousand cavalrymen from the Xiaowei Mansion who are in charge of long-range suppression under the palace city. Whoever dares to show their heads will be covered by a shower of arrows.

Where has Zhong Yuan seen such a battle from the soldiers of the Forbidden Army?
Although most of Yuan Cong's forbidden army came from good families, it's a pity that they have basically never fought in battle. Seeing this scene, they trembled with fear.

There was almost no hysteresis effect, the shield chariot escorted the soldiers of the Qinwei Mansion, and successfully rushed to the Xuanwu Gate.

The infantry of the Qinwei Mansion immediately took their knives and axes, and slashed at the Xuanwu Gate palace gate frantically.This kind of palace gate made of solid wood is about one foot thick, and the sawdust is flying up and down after being chopped with knives and axes.

Jing Junhong looked at this scene and said anxiously: "Xuanwumen won't last long, if we lose this palace gate, we will all die!"

Chang He shouted: "Go to the door with a knife cart and guard the city gate. Each person will be rewarded with a hundred taels!"

Jing Junhong turned to Chang He and said: "Old Chang, you guard the city gate, and I will lead people to guard the city gate!"

As he spoke, he led a group of soldiers towards the city wall.

However, at this time, the gate of the palace had already been cut with big holes and small eyes.

Luo Shixin shouted anxiously: "Get out of the way, let me come!"

With that said, he jumped on a spare horse and rushed towards the city gate.

The speed of the war horse was getting faster and faster, Luo Shixin shouted: "Let me drive!"

The iron spear in his hand pierced the top bolt of the city gate.

"Crack!" With a muffled sound, the gate of the city opened.

However, the huge inertial impact force made Luo Shixin feel uncomfortable. All his strength was transferred to the horse. The horse couldn't bear the strain, and its front hooves limp and fell to the ground.

The city gate was wide open, and Chen Ying's personal guards rushed into the Xuanwu Gate.

At this moment, Jing Junhong took a long lance and overturned the two guards, and then pushed the gate on the left with all his might.

The two doors slowly closed.

Luo Shixin jumped off his horse, held the severely deformed iron spear, swung it round and used it as a stick to sweep at Jing Junhong.

"Pfft..."

Jing Junhong's waist was twisted together at a weird angle.Obviously, Luo Shixin's shot directly severed Jing Junhong's spine, and Jing Junhong opened his mouth, spitting out blood.

Chang He rushed over and hugged Jing Junhong and shouted loudly: "Old Jing! Lao Jing!"

Jing Junhong muttered two sentences and turned his head, and died.

Luo Shixin put on his horse and shouted, "Whoever stands in my way dies!"

……

Li Shimin's complexion became extremely ugly, it turned out that there were two irrelevant people, it was really a failure.Cheng Zhijie was furious, rushed forward and grabbed Wang Jun's collar, and roared at Wang Jun, "Say, where is the prince? Where is the prince?"

Wang Yan's mouth twitched in fright, his hands and feet trembled, he opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

On the contrary, Uncle Cen Wen was much calmer.

Uncle Cen Wen smiled lightly and said, "His Royal Highness, can't you guess where His Royal Highness is now?"

Li Shimin's face suddenly changed drastically: "It's not good for Tai Chi Palace Ganlu Palace!"

At this moment, there was a fierce killing cry from the direction of Xuanwu Gate, and Cheng Zhijie's expression changed drastically.

Without the defense of the palace gate, the guards of Xuanwu Gate are no match for Chen Ying's personal guards. You must know that Chen Ying's personal guards have been in Liangzhou since the fourth battle in Lingzhou, Liu Wuzhou in Hedong, Wang Shichong in Luoyang, and Dou Jian in Hebei. Yehu Khan, the leader of the Western Turks, fled in embarrassment after being killed.

Each of their soldiers followed Chen Ying from Bashu to Lingzhou, from Xihe to Hedong, Henan, Hebei, and then to the Western Regions, to Congling, and they were invincible for thousands of miles. of.

Since the gate of the palace was wide open, Chang He was stabbed through the chest by Luo Shixin for only one stick of incense in the city gate, and he died so badly that Chang He's soldiers fled in embarrassment.

From the moment Cheng Zhijie heard the shouts of killing from the direction of Xuanwu Gate, it was only two sticks of incense, and he rode ahead, rode his horse and raised his gun, shouting again and again: "Death to the rebellious ministers and traitors!"

Li Shimin looked at Luo Shixin who was approaching from a distance, and he could turn a blind eye.However, he couldn't ignore another familiar figure - Chen Ying.

Chen Yingce walked slowly to Li Shimin in front of Li Shimin for more than [-] steps and stood still. He said with a faint smile, "His Royal Highness, long time no see!"
