At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 361
The three thousand rebels outside the city finally opened up and slowly approached the city gate. It seemed that they were preparing to attack the city.Upon seeing this, Fan Zigai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, hurriedly said: "The rebels are about to attack the city, please go down to the top of the city first, so as not to be accidentally injured by the arrows."

Yang Tong, the king of Yue, shook his head and refused: "The emperor personally conquered Liaodong and entrusted the eastern capital to this king. Now that the rebels are approaching the city, if this king shrinks back and hides for safety, how can he motivate the morale of the three armies? Not only can this king not go down to the city, but also You must personally beat the drums to cheer for the three armies, come and show off the banner of this king, so that the soldiers of the three armies will know that this king is here!"

The guards of Yuewang Mansion immediately unfurled the banner of Yuewang and let it fly high above the city tower.Seeing this, Fan Zigai, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was both gratified and worried. King Yue was so courageous at such a young age. The appearance of a Mingjun, but the more Mingjun, the more he must protect him, and there must be no accidents, so he continued to persuade Yang Tong to leave the city The other ministers followed suit, but the young prince seemed determined to stay at the top of the city to boost the morale of the three armies, but he was unwilling to leave.

At this time, a bay red horse rushed out from the enemy army outside the city. Immediately, a general was wearing bright light armor, holding a trident upside down in his right hand, and a shield hanging on the victory hook. Leding in front of the moat, he yelled loudly towards the top of the city: "On the top of the city is His Royal Highness the King of Yue? This general is Hu Benlang General Yang Xuanzong. His Highness the King of Yue has the courage to show up to see you. Don't be scared to pee, haha!"

Yang Tong suddenly became angry, and was about to go forward, but Fan Zigai stopped him with his hand, "As the so-called son of a thousand gold can't sit down, His Highness King Yue must not fall into the opponent's tricks."

Yang Tong said angrily, "Could it be that Yang Xuanzong, the rebel, is allowed to swear wildly in the city?"

Fan Zigai said: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue is at ease, I will come to meet this thief for a while."

This Fan Zigai was a bit courageous, he stepped forward and poked his head out from the crenellation of the female wall, and shouted sharply: "Yang Xuanzong, the traitor, the emperor treats you father and son well, and you have committed an act of rebellion against your superiors. If you really deserve to die, take the head of brother Nai quickly to plead guilty, the emperor's benevolence may spare you the death penalty, so maybe you can preserve the blood of Old Yang Chugong, otherwise, the disaster of destroying the family and the family is just around the corner!"

Yang Xuanzong is Yang Su's second son, that is, Yang Xuangan's younger brother. Before the rebellion, his official position was Hu Benlang, ranking fourth!
Yang Xuanzong sneered and said: "My father earned his wealth and talent with his life and talents, not a gift from Yang Guang. Even the great Sui Dynasty, at least half of the country was laid down by my father, who helped Yang Guang to the throne. However, this faint soldier wished that his father would die immediately.

How wise the first emperor was, he managed the world in an orderly manner, the country was prosperous and the people were abundant, but since he ascended the throne, Yang Guang, the faint king, has perverted his actions, disregarding the life and death of the people, and started building constructions. The room is empty, the people are in dire straits, my brother raised troops to support justice, to relieve the urgent needs of the common people in the world. The teacher entered the city.

I will guarantee here that as long as Mr. Fan surrenders, your family will be rich and honored for generations, but whoever surrenders, the rebel army will never commit any crimes, and everyone can keep their posts. "

"Hey, I am bathing in the emperor's favor, how can I join forces with you and other rebels? It's just a daydream, it's ridiculous!" Fan Zigai spat down the city to show his disdain.

Yang Xuanzong said angrily: "Since the old man doesn't know how to praise, I will destroy the city first, and destroy your whole family first." After speaking, he drew his bow and set up an arrow, and shot the arrow towards the top of the city.

Bei Shenlang yelled at Han Shi'er: "Lord Fan, be careful!" He lifted Fan Zigai behind him, Yang Xuanzong's arrow scraped against the wall and flew into the air, and finally stuck on the gate tower at the top of the city, buzzing.

Fan Zigai broke into a cold sweat from fright, thinking to himself that his archery skills were so good, if he continued to stand on the crenel, his head might be shot through, so he quickly expressed his thanks to Han Shi'e.

"Master Fan, you are being polite, this is what I should do!" Han Shi'er said proudly, and even jumped onto the wall with his bow and arrow, and shouted: "Come and not reciprocate, the traitor Yang Xuanzong, you also eat this!" Take an arrow!"

Han Shi'er shot an arrow towards the city, Yang Xuanzong raised his shield to block the arrow in a calm manner, laughed loudly and said, "Han Shi'er, your father Han Qinhu was also a fierce general under my father's command, why bother to serve Yang Tong? You little brat, why don't you go out of the city and join my brother, if you can help me take Luoyang, what's the point of making you a prince?"

"Wishful thinking!" Han Shi'e shot two arrows in anger, but Yang Xuanzong easily blocked them with his shield.

Yang Xuanzong seemed to be a little angry after being shot with three arrows, and said sharply: "Since you don't know good from bad, then don't blame the general for being rude, attack the city!"

Yang Xuanzong turned his horse's head and left. Three thousand elite soldiers immediately attacked the city. The majestic Han Shi'er quickly jumped off the wall and rushed to the King of Yue and shouted: "The enemy has attacked the city, protect the prince!"

With Han Shi'e's order, more than a dozen Qianniu guards immediately formed shields around Yue Wang Yang Tong and the ministers, and isolated the soldiers and guards of Yue Wang's mansion. For some reason, Gao Bufan felt that Han Shi'e's actions were a bit too contrived Yes, there is a suspicion of intentionally showing his presence in front of the King of Yue, but Yang Tong, the King of Yue, seems to be following this trick and praised Han Shi'er's "heroic" behavior a lot.

"Kill!" There were shouts of killing from all over the city. Under the cover of the rain of arrows, the rebels launched an attack on Hui'anmen, and the attack turned out to be very violent.

The defenders on the top of the city blocked it immediately, arrows rained down, rolling stones, lumber, and hot oil were thrown down the city one after another, causing blood to flow in rivers.

Yue Wang Yang Tong tried to stay calm at first, and even beat the drums to help him in the battle, but when he saw the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, his face turned pale, especially when an unlucky civil servant beside him was shot by the arrow When he opened his eyes, the little kid was even more frightened and trembled.

The unlucky official's left eye was pierced by the arrow, and the burst eyeball and blood flowed all over his face. He fell there and howled for a few minutes before he stretched his legs and died completely!
"His Royal Highness, if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, let's go down to the top of the city!" Fan Zigai said while helping Yue Wang Yang Tong to walk towards the steps.

This little boy Yang Tong must have been frightened, he was shivering and staggering while being helped to walk, obviously he hadn't recovered yet.A group of civil servants also scrambled to escape to the steps, huddled together in a mess.

"Protect the prince!" Han Shi'e followed King Yue and Fan Zigai with a thousand-ox sword in his hand, surrounded by a group of thousand-ox guards, and the guards of the palace surrounded him.

Naturally, Gao Bufan made a good deal of it, and followed King Yue unhurriedly not far behind, for Qing Ruo's sake, he still wanted to keep this little brat safe.

When everyone was about to go down to the ground along the steps, the Qianniu knife in Han Shi'e's hand suddenly flashed coldly. Zigai's neck was chopped off.
