Chapter 447 Chapter 458: Blood Stained Imperial City
At this moment, Xue Rengui was soaked in blood, with long hair loose, like a god of killing, frightening. Seeing him rushing towards him, Lunzhu Rinzeng was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled his horse back, and at the same time shouted: "Hurry up, protect me!" Hearing the sound, all the guards rushed forward one after another, blocking Xue Rengui's way.

"Looking for death!" Xue Rengui let out a snarl, and galloped forward. Fang Tian drew his halberd and pierced through a guard with a shield. The blow knocked people on their backs, but Xue Rengui kept coming, swung his halberd repeatedly, and killed three people in a row in an instant. All the enemies he encountered fell from their horses.

Xue Rengui's formidable force and momentum shocked people's hearts, frightening the central guards to retreat one after another. Lunzhu Rinzeng had already galloped northward on his horse, intending to escape. Xue Rengui was stopped by several guards for a while, and when he turned his head to look , Discovering that Lunzhu Renzeng had fled to more than 80 zhang away, Xue Rengui hurriedly took off the iron back bow, bent the bow and set up an arrow, and aimed at Lunzhu Renzeng.

"Hold!" Xue Rengui yelled, only to hear the sound of a bowstring "buzz", Lunzhu Renzeng screamed and fell off the horse, fell to the ground and began to cry, an arrow made of steel pierced through his right shoulder, making him move Can't be afraid.

Seeing this, all the guards came to rescue them one after another, but the Xuanjia army had rushed up and scattered them. Xue Rengui clamped his horse's belly and rode forward. Holding Xue Rengui's long halberd, he let out a desperate cry.

With a muffled sound of "poof", Xue Rengui's Fang Tianhuajian pierced Lunzhu Renzeng's chest, hot blood gushing out, steaming in the cold weather, Lunzhu Renzeng's eyes were wide open, full of blood. Unwilling and desperate, he opened and closed his mouth several times, but in the end he couldn't make a sound, his head slowly dropped, and he died.

"The enemy's chief will be killed!" Xue Rengui screamed loudly, and at the same time he raised his spear, holding Lunzhu Renzeng's body high in the air. Seeing this, the Xuanjia army immediately cheered like thunder, and brandished Mo Dao to slaughter Tubo even more frantically. army.

Li Yuanzhong on the Xuanwu Gate looked at the battle outside the city and shouted excitedly: "Quick! Open the city gate and help General Xue! Destroy the enemy!"

The Xuanwu Gate opened slowly, and more than 3000 Jinwu Guards rushed out. The Tubo Army, which was already at a disadvantage, had no intention of fighting anymore, and fled in all directions. , leaving no one alive.

Finally, the [-] Tubo army outside the Xuanwu Gate was wiped out. At this moment, a horse suddenly galloped over, holding up a piece of military order from a distance and shouting: "The military order is here!"

When he got close, the messenger got off his horse, Xue Rengui went up to meet him, took Li Hao's warrant, and saw that it read: "Order Xue Rengui to lead the army into Taiji Palace, go out from Chengtian Gate, and take Suzaku Gate!"

Xue Rengui was shocked when he heard the words, and then he was ecstatic. Li Hao planned to cooperate with the inside and outside to take down the Tubo army, but he frowned immediately. It was nearly four miles from Chengtian Gate to Zhuque Gate, and the Tubo army was now in the imperial city , 5000 of them want to pass through the imperial city and open the Suzaku Gate, and they will inevitably be frantically obstructed by the Tubo army. Being trapped in the imperial city is like a turtle in a urn. They can wait for another day or two until Li Ji's [-] army arrives, and then attack again. They can easily take down the Tubo army.

At this time, the messenger said: "General Xue, the marshal asked his subordinates to tell you that in half an hour, Li Guocheng will bring [-] troops to help you take down the Suzaku Gate. The marshal also said that the battle is urgent now. General Xue, please follow the military orders quickly."

Li Yuanzhong also said at the side: "General Xue, there is no need to delay. You should quickly lead your troops into the Taiji Palace. The Tubo army is attacking the Taiji Palace. Now there are only 8000 troops in the three walls, and it seems that they can't last long."

Xue Rengui nodded. No wonder Li Hao was in such a hurry. There were only more than 8000 people on the three walls to the south of Taiji Palace, which could be said to be in danger, so he immediately led an army of [-] into Xuanwu Gate.

Right now, Ge Erdongzan is trapped in the imperial city by Li Hao, in a dilemma. Now that he has become a turtle in the urn, he decides to burn everything and order a crazy attack on Taiji Palace. Now the Taiji Palace is only guarded by less than [-] Tang troops. It is really in danger. Although Li Hao Contained outside the imperial city, but it can't hinder Ge Erdongzan's determination to win the Tai Chi Palace.

Hearing this, Xue Rengui hurriedly led the Xuanjia army into Daming Palace through Xuanwu Gate, and from Daming Palace to Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he learned that Xue Rengui had come from Xuanwu Gate with his troops, and he came to meet Xue Rengui in person. When Xue Rengui saw Li Shimin, he immediately saluted: "My minister Xue Rengui, see the emperor."

"General Xue, don't be too polite!" Li Shimin was in a good mood, feeling that his illness was a little lighter, and said with a smile, "It's really time for General Xue to come."

Xue Rengui nodded and said: "I am ashamed, my minister was late to rescue me, which surprised the emperor."

"What are you talking about?" Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "General Xue came just in time. If the enemy army was not right in front of us, I would definitely have a drink with General Xue!"

Xue Rengui cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, it's not too late to drink wine until the Tubo barbarians are repelled. Right now, the Tubo army is attacking the Taiji Palace. The battle is urgent. I have a military order, so I dare not delay any longer. I will go to confront the enemy immediately. Your Majesty forgive me!"

"Well, the military order is like a mountain, you go first." Li Shimin waved his hand, "This group of barbarians like my Chang'an so much, General Xue, let them stay in Chang'an forever!"

"Yes!" Xue Rengui shouted and led the five thousand Xuanjia troops to Chengtianmen.

Watching the army led by Xue Rengui go away, Li Shimin squinted his eyes and murmured: "This army is so mighty, even I feel chills down my spine when I see it. Who is this army?"

Li Yuanzhong on the side heard the words and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, these are the King Qin troops brought by Xue Rengui from Qiongnan. It is said that Li Hao, King of Qiongnan, has improved his military training methods and invested heavily in building Mo Dao and Iron Shield..."

Li Shimin's heart sank when he heard the words, he frowned and said, "You mean Li Hao trained the army privately?"

At such a sensitive time, when Li Shimin heard such news, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Li Yuanzhong hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, General Xue said that these troops were trained by the imperial court. King Qiongnan just asked the governor Cui Peng and General Xue offered a new method of training the army, and as for donating money to build the Modao Iron Shield, it was because at that time we had to deal with the Qiongnan natives, and Qiongnan’s states and counties were in short supply of weapons, and Qiongnan King had no selfish intentions."

"I hope so." Li Shimin sighed softly, still frowning, and after a while, he said slowly, "I will pass on my order, seal the Xuanwu Gate, and don't allow anyone to come in."

Li Yuanzhong was taken aback when he heard the words. He wanted to tell Li Shimin that Li Hao still had [-] troops ready to pass through the Xuanwu Gate, but he did not dare to disobey the holy orders, so he could only cup his fists and nod his head: "Observe the order."

Li Hao, outside the imperial city, set up a temporary tooth tent two miles outside the Suzaku Gate. At this moment, the army is attacking the city, shooting arrows at the city wall. He brought 6 cavalry, and the cavalry's ability to attack the city is not very strong. He also knew that with such a small number of people, it was impossible to break through the imperial city. After all, there were more than [-] Tubo troops in the imperial city.

He had his own plan in mind, he was only responsible for containing the Tubo army outside the city, so that Lu Dongzan could not attack the Taiji Palace with all his strength, and the Xuanjia army was the key to his victory. He had already sent Li Guocheng to lead five thousand Xuanjia troops to circle around Going to the Xuanwu Gate, as long as Li Guocheng's five thousand Xuanjia troops and Xue Rengui's five thousand Xuanjia troops enter the Taiji Palace, and enter the imperial city from Chengtianmen, the power of the [-] Xuanjia troops is extraordinary, and they will definitely be able to take it easily. The Suzaku Gate, as long as the Suzaku Gate is opened, it will be the date of Lu Dongzan's death.

The catapult and bed crossbow were only fired every once in a while, because there were not many arrows and stones, and they had to be used at the last critical moment to break the city. What he had to do now was to restrain the [-] Tubo army on the city wall. Only [-] troops attacked Tai Chi Palace.

The Tubo army was hitting the Chengtian Gate with a sprinter. The Chengtian Gate was tall and heavy, and it was not easy to smash it open. Suddenly!With a creak, the Chengtian Gate opened, not by knocking it open, but by the Chengtian Gate itself.

The Tubo army was about to cheer, but they were stunned for a second, because after the Chengtian Gate was opened, they saw that the corridors of the city gate were densely packed with iron shields, like a cold iron wall.

"Kill!" Xue Rengui's roar came, and the sound of hooves thundered. The five thousand Xuanjia troops rushed out of Chengtian Gate like a frenzy, smashing the Tubo army in front of the city gate. Trampled by iron hooves into meat paste.

As soon as the Xuanjia army entered the imperial city, it was as if they were destroyed, and they drowned all the Xuanjia troops in the imperial city. After all the Xuanjia troops rushed out of the Chengtian gate, the Chengtian gate was slowly closed again.

Chengtian Gate is four miles away from Suzaku Gate. In the middle is a straight and wide road, nearly ten feet wide, with tall walls and palaces on both sides. There is no fork in the road. Some people call this road "Tongtian Road". Appropriate, after all, it is the avenue leading directly to Chengtian Gate, or in other words, through this road, you can see the emperor, isn't the emperor just the sky.

Xue Rengui led five thousand Xuanjia troops and rushed forward along Tongtian Road, and was immediately blocked by a large number of Tubo troops.

"Spear!" Xue Rengui yelled, and saw all the Xuanjia troops changing their formation on horseback. At the same time as they changed their formation, everyone raised their iron shields to block the rain of arrows from the Tubo army. Like a sharp spear, it stabbed straight at the front of the Tubo army. With just one impact, thousands of Tubo troops were rushed to their backs. Some died under the hooves of the horses, and some were cut open in the neck and chest , when the Xuanjia Army passed by, only about a hundred of the [-] Tubo troops left standing still stood. The stone road was dyed a deep red color.
