Chapter 143 Breaking the city like flowing fire, the emperor guards the capital (14)

Small hammer forty, big hammer eighty.

Li Yuanba's hammer is worth a thousand gold.

There was a loud bang, and Li Yuanba smashed a big hole in the bricks and stones piled up by the small door. He lit a torch and looked in. There were various sundries piled up inside to block the passage.

And there were soldiers guarding the city on the other side. As soon as the small door was smashed open, the soldier also saw this side through the gap and exclaimed again and again.

"Yuanba, go in and push away those sundries!"

"Ok!"

Li Yuanba put down his hammers, went in through the hole empty-handed, and threw some sundries out. When he encountered a hard object, he simply smashed it with his fist.

The soldiers in the city had already noticed the gap, and they called for help in shock. Many guards came over, surrounded the exit with spears in their hands, and poked fiercely at Li Yuanba who was approaching!

Li Yuanba looked at the spearheads that were stabbing at him, sneered, turned sideways, raised his arms, clamped several gun barrels under his armpits, pressed hard, and there were several "clicks", all the spears broke.

The tip of the gun fell into Li Yuanba's hand, so he simply used it as a dart, raising his hand and throwing it towards the opposite side.

Puff puff……

Several guards did not stab Li Yuanba to death, but were pierced into his body by the end of his own gun, and fell to the ground wailing.

At this moment on the city wall, Li Gui was sweating coldly as he looked at the brave Zhao Yun. Although there were two masters in his group of warriors, he couldn't take down Zhao Yun immediately. There was also a strange light.

As soon as the light came out, Zhao Yun's speed suddenly increased, which almost made the two masters suffer a great loss in shock.

Not only that, there are still bone soldiers climbing up the city wall, which is particularly terrifying in this moonless night!
Even though Baishiquan had already informed Su Yuan of his ability to summon bone soldiers, Li Gui still had a heartfelt fear when he saw this scene with his own eyes.

Even he can't stand it, not to mention ordinary soldiers, this is the result of their previous "vaccination".Li Gui told them earlier that the enemy knows some magic tricks, but don't be afraid, these skeleton soldiers are weak, not as good as real people.

It's one thing to hear about it, but another thing to see it with your own eyes.Who can watch the skeleton soldiers crawl out of the corpses of their comrades and remain indifferent?
If it was said that Li Gui was already in a state of distress, then the small gate under the city was broken, which surprised him even more.

"General! Enemy troops are rushing in through the small gate!"

"what?!"

Li Guiren was on the city wall, and he didn't have time to check what happened below, and the braziers on the city wall were all overturned and destroyed by the flying guns. Under the darkness, it was inevitable that he would neglect to observe the lower part of the city wall.

Moreover, Li Yuanba's movements were too fast, from hammering the wicket to rushing in and piercing through the passage, it took only 2 minutes.

When the news reached Li Gui, it was too late to stop it.

Li Gui ran to the steps of the city wall and looked down, and immediately saw a scene that he will never forget.

He saw a burst of dazzling light erupting in the open space below the steps, and in that light, hundreds of Bei'an soldiers suddenly appeared!

This scene made him dizzy and unbelievable.

He thought he was presbyopic, how did these thousands of enemy troops appear?How did he pass through the small door in an instant?Even if the small gate is broken, at most one or two people can pass through at a time!
This surreal scene is enough to make any famous general collapse mentally.

But Li Gui is old and strong, and his psychological quality is far beyond ordinary people. Seeing such a strange situation, he can still calm down.

He immediately understood that the outer city wall could no longer be defended!
"Back to the city!" he yelled. "Abandon the city walls! All go to the long street!"

If you don't give up on the city wall, you will be pinched from top to bottom, which will only lead to the annihilation of the defenders on the city wall.

Many soldiers actually wanted to withdraw a long time ago. They were too frightened. The skeleton soldiers that kept coming out, if there was a big sun during the day, might not be so scary, but in this dark night, they are really terrifying.

The guards on the city wall scrambled to run down the steps, and some accidentally fell in a panic, and were trampled to death by descendants immediately.Thousands of people crowded down, but they faced the Bei'an army and Li Yuanba, the titan with double hammers.

"die!"

With two hammers in hand, Li Yuanba blocked the stone steps by himself, and when one came down from the top, the hammer flew away. The other Bei'an soldiers fought with the guards who came to support them. covered the entire capital.

The news passed quickly.

In the mansions of the princes and nobles, people come and go frequently.

These rich and noble people heard that the Bei'an army had breached the city wall and were fighting with the guards on the long street in the center of the capital, and they were frightened for a moment.

Are you sure you can keep it?
How could it be breached suddenly!
No one knows the reason, and no one cares, because the important point now is that the outer city wall has been broken, which means that nobles like them have lost their protective umbrella.

If the defenders could not stop the Bei'an army, once the latter rushed into the inner city, they would all be in danger.

This terrifies them!

The big mansions in Nancheng were already full of noise, crying and shouting resounded everywhere, and the big families were quickly tidying up their clothes, as if they were about to flee for their lives.

At the same time, in the palace, Emperor Qingxiang woke up in the middle of the night. After learning that the outer city had been breached, his old face was as pale as paper.

"Why, how could this be..."

"Your Majesty! Now the defenders in the city are fighting with the Bei'an soldiers on the central long street. It is still unknown who will win and who will lose!" said Prime Minister He Zhongping. After he heard the news, he immediately entered the palace to discuss with the emperor.

Qing Xiang cheered up when he heard the words, and said, "That's right, the outcome is still unknown! There are hundreds of thousands of defenders in the capital, even if they lose the outer city wall and start the battle from the front of the long street, they may not be defeated!"

Emperor Qingxiang, who had been suffering from illness recently, was extremely energetic at the moment. Under the intensified pressure, he seemed to be more than ten years younger, and his speech became more powerful.

"Zhongping, let all the officials enter the palace immediately, and kill those who don't come back! In addition, let them send all the servants to the central long street!"

"Yes!"

Emperor Qingxiang called in the new captain of the guards with swords, and asked him to gather the guards in the palace, and also the imperial guards, and finally sent a set of armor and swords.

Seeing this, He Zhongping was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Does Your Majesty want to lead the army himself?!"

"That's right!" Emperor Qingxiang held a long sword in his hand, with a murderous look, "I want to see for myself, what kind of abilities this Su Yuan has, why he can occupy my Mozhou Qingzhou, and why he can break through my capital city!"

"Your Majesty can't!"

He Zhongping was in a hurry. If the young emperor did this, he would definitely approve of it. The emperor went to the battlefield in person, which would definitely greatly improve the morale of the soldiers.

But the problem is that Emperor Qingxiang is too old, and he is still sick these days, even if he looks energetic now, it is just at the end of his strength.

He Zhongping was even worried that once Emperor Qingxiang really went to the front line, amidst the fierce fighting of the army, he might die suddenly with anger and blood!

Once this happens, let alone boost morale, it will directly destroy morale!
Qing Xiang ignored He Zhongping and insisted on going in person: "I've lost my mind, don't say any more!"

"...Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, He Zhongping could only obey the order.

After he left, Qingxiang gave another order to the imperial guards.

He sent a part of the imperial guards to the east gate, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without his order.
"There is no room for loss in the capital. At this time, I see who wants to run away!"

Emperor Qingxiang knew very well that at this time someone must want to leave the east gate and go to the ferry to escape by boat, so he had to block the road first.

This is also his purpose of forcing civil and military officials to enter the palace. The capital city of the Great Zhou for hundreds of years, the treasure land left by the ancestors, must not be abandoned!If anyone wants to escape at this time, he should cut him off first!
Qingxiang made up his mind, and after putting on his armor, he rushed to Zhongxin Avenue together with the imperial guards.

He also ordered the princes to go with him. At this time, anyone who dares to back down, even his own son, will be beheaded.

At the moment on Central Avenue, the battle is in full swing.

The so-called Zhongxin Avenue is a long street that runs through the east and west gates and passes through the entire capital. This street is wide and prosperous, with constant traffic and people, and it is a famous scene in the capital.

But tonight, nothing but killing occupies the streets.

The Bei'an army has controlled the west city gate, while the defenders are retreating to the central long street. The two armies are fighting on the long street. Zhao Yun and Li Yuanba are at the forefront, like two chariots, crushing all the enemies standing in front of them. .

At the back is a phalanx composed of summoned soldiers and real soldiers, and the holy priests are at the end of the team, constantly casting "Healing Light" and "Swift Light" to speed up the recovery of blood for the troops in front.

The meat shield fighters stand in the front row, and the nurses stand in the back row. This perfect formation that usually only appears in "games" has been restored in reality at this moment.

This made the defenders of the capital desperate. They were no less than the Bei'an Army in number, but much more. However, they found that the soldiers of the Bei'an Army were all extremely ferocious!

And after they are injured, there will be a strange light falling on their bodies, and the wound will stop bleeding quickly after that, this is the scariest thing.

Before Su Yuan traveled, he read history books and said that the Yellow Turban Soldiers drank Zhang Jiao's "Heavenly Master Talisman Water" and believed that they were "invulnerable" and fought fiercely, but that was just a lie after all.

But now his Bei'an army has turned the lie into reality. Although it is not "invulnerable", the "real-time treatment" is also a miracle.

At this time Li Gui was surrounded by the defenders, watching his own soldiers retreat steadily, he was so anxious that his throat was about to burst, but there was nothing he could do.

As for Zhou Chong, he had been lying on the city wall before, avoiding flying guns.Later, under the desperate protection of hundreds of soldiers, he successfully escaped from the city wall.Now he is hiding at the end of the team, his face is full of fear, and he is no longer as vigorous as before.

Only after watching lives die one by one, did he understand that war is not a child's play, nor is it as romantic as he imagined.Yes, just cold death and scalding blood.

In desperation, the Bei'an army kept advancing, while the defenders kept retreating. Before they knew it, the former had advanced nearly [-] meters.A lot of corpses were left on the way, most of them were guards of the capital, which made the morale of the guards almost on the verge of collapse.

Once the morale collapsed, there would definitely be a one-sided massacre or surrender. Li Gui couldn't let that happen. He shouted at his personal guards: "Get out of the way! Old man, go to the front!"

He intends to use his own life to arouse the bloodiness of the guards, or perhaps, the death of the coach will only cause the soldiers to collapse faster.

But there is no way, Li Gui must take a gamble now.If you don't gamble, you will collapse. If you gamble, there is still a chance!
"No general!"

The guards refused to give way, Li Gui was about to lose his temper when he suddenly heard shouts from behind.

"Holy Majesty!"

"Holy Majesty!"

Li Gui quickly turned his head to look, and saw a group of silver-armored troops coming from the rear. In the center of the army, Emperor Qingxiang was wearing a golden armor and holding a long sword, majestic and majestic.

The Holy One went to battle in person? !
This was unexpected by Li Gui, but as soon as Emperor Qingxiang appeared, the morale problem he was worried about before was resolved.

"The Son of Heaven guards the capital! Soldiers, fight to the death!" Li Gui roared.

"Dead fight! Dead fight! Dead fight!"

When the emperor came in person, the morale of the defenders, which was on the verge of collapse, instantly rose, and they stopped their continuous retreat for a while, and joined the Bei'an army.

Seeing this scene from behind, Su Yuan was also a little surprised.

"The old thing Qingxiang came out..."

He didn't expect that this old thing still has a bit of backbone, instead of shrinking in the palace or choosing to escape, he wore a golden armor to supervise the battle at the front line. This is indeed not something a timid emperor can do.

As soon as Emperor Qingxiang appeared, Zhao Yun, who was fighting at the forefront, was about to move, as if he wanted to rush over alone, or kill or hold the emperor hostage.

Seeing this, Su Yuan immediately stopped him with a soldier talisman.

"Zilong, don't be impulsive! Emperor Qingxiang must have expert protection, it's too dangerous for you to go there by yourself!"

Zhao Yun in front of him also stopped immediately when he heard Su Yuan's words.

Su Yuan heard from Zhou Shu that there is a "Dragon Guardian Clan" in the palace, which is dedicated to protecting the safety of the emperor.

Even according to what Zhou Shu said, Su Yuan suspects that there are also great masters among the guardians of the dragon clan.Otherwise, with Fu Chengyang's ruthless character, he wouldn't have endured it for so long, and he might have already laid hands on the emperor for the sake of his son.

In this way, if Zhao Yun went over rashly, something might happen.

"This old man Qingxiang may have a purpose for showing up, which is to use himself as a bait..."

Su Yuan thought, but came to the city wall.

The top of the city wall has been occupied by the Bei'an Army at this moment, and there are all soldiers of our own side on it. Su Yuan cleared out an open space and summoned it with a soldier talisman.

Brush brush brush brush!

Ten eight-ox crossbows appeared on the city wall, as well as soldiers in charge of turning the shaft.

Su Yuan said coldly: "Take aim at the one in the golden armor."

After the Bei'an army occupied the city wall, they could naturally use their condescending advantage to attack the defenders in the city.

Especially now that Emperor Qingxiang was 400 meters away from the city wall, completely within the killing range of the Ba Niu Crossbow.Moreover, in order to boost morale, so that the soldiers could see him, the old man specially wore an extremely dazzling golden armor. He was simply the most dazzling star in the crowd, a pure living target.

Since he wants to shine, Su Yuan will let him shine to the end, to see if he can send him back to the west with a crossbow directly!
