A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 637 Destroy Zheng Guo

The night sky is deep, there is no moon in the sky, there are only a few stars, and the north wind blows across the street. The soldiers on night watch also hid in leeward places to rest.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly came over, and then hundreds of black figures were seen walking quickly on the street. After getting closer, I realized that there were actually hundreds of soldiers wearing armor.

Shan Xiongxin and his soldiers had an unimpeded journey, and soon passed through most of the streets and arrived at the Suzaku Gate.

"Who's stopping?" Although the soldiers on night watch in the city were hiding and lazing around, the soldiers guarding the city gate were still responsible.

"It's me." A figure came out of the darkness and was illuminated by a torch. It was Shan Xiongxin.

"General Shan!" The officer recognized Shan Xiongxin at a glance and saluted quickly: "I have met General Shan."

"There is no need to be polite in the army." Shan Xiongxin waved his hand. Shan Xiongxin was very prestigious in the army because he was brave enough to lead the three armies, treated his soldiers well, and led his army to victory many times.

The officer stood up and said, "It's so late, why is the general here?"

"Are you Chen Xu? I remember you. Li Tang launched a large-scale attack today. The king was worried that they would attack at night, so he asked me to pay more attention to the night patrol." Shan Xiongxin said.

"General, I have long wanted to vote for Li Tang, but I have no way out, and the family is being watched, so I don't dare to move. If General wants to vote for Li Tang, I hope he can help me!"

"Hahaha, brothers are indeed smart people. If that's the case, then let's do it together."

In an instant, a chill ran down his spine and rushed straight to his forehead. In the midst of the lightning and flint, Chen Xu had a flash of inspiration and immediately whispered: "General, are you going to vote for Li Tang?"

What made his heart skip a beat was that the soldiers all looked at him with cold eyes.

"The general actually still remembers the name of his humble position. Don't worry, general. The brothers are all vigilant and will never let down their guard." The young officer assured, patting his chest.

"What's the situation now? You must be careful in the critical situation here!"

"That's good, come with me and have a look!" Shan Xiongxin said and walked forward, and the soldiers behind him also followed.

"You want to report?"

"Thank you, General." Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that his back was soaked with sweat.

The young officer took Shan Xiongxin and walked towards the city gate. Soon a few people arrived near the city gate. The officer led the way and made introductions. He turned his head unintentionally and suddenly found that Shan Xiongxin was all around him. soldiers.

"You also know that Wang Shichong is cunning and cunning. During this period of time, the army was besieging the city. I haven't had enough to eat for several days. So many high-ranking officials outside have been demoted. Why should I fight for Wang Shichong?"

After hearing this, Shan Xiongxin, who was about to take action, was almost ready to draw his sword and chop him to death, but in the end he reacted and stared at him with cold eyes. At the same time, several soldiers around him had half of their swords drawn out.

Shan Xiongxin stared at him closely, and it took a moment for his expression to thaw.

"General, there are three captains on duty at this city gate plus me. Two of them have gone to rest today, and one is on the other side. That man is also my dead brother. As long as we drag him here, everything will be safe."

"Okay! If it succeeds, I will definitely show my merit to King Qin when the time comes!"

Soon there was a creaking sound, and the Suzaku Gate opened in the dark night. Then Shan Xiongxin took two torches and waved them regularly outside the city several times. The night was deep, and the Tang Army's camp outside the city had long been silent, but the Tang Army did not rest. Although there was a battle during the day, as soon as it entered the night, Li Shimin summoned the generals and personally led the elite to a camp about ten miles away from Luoyang City. place.

It was not until halfway through the night that Li Shimin led the army and moved forward. Finally, they stopped three miles away from the city wall.

Wang Xuanjing stayed beside him calmly and calmly, but he was also anxious in his heart, knowing that tonight's sneak attack was his idea. Luoyang City in the dark night is like a huge wild beast.

At this moment, several light spots suddenly lit up in the darkness. The light spots were seen shaking regularly in the darkness, going back and forth several times. After seeing the fire, Li Shimin was overjoyed and immediately planned to lead people in.

The people nearby quickly stopped and said: "Your Highness, no, the moon is dark and the wind is high, I don't know if there is any fraud, Your Highness has a body of thousands of gold."

"Soldiers are valuable and quick. If the military plane is delayed and this opportunity is lost, how will we break the city?" Li Shimin said directly.

"Your Highness, why don't you let the last general lead five hundred people in first? If nothing happens, Your Highness will lead the army in again!" Qin Qiong said directly next to him.

"Your Highness, why not let Qin Qiong and Yu Chi Jingde lead 500 people to go first!" Wang Xuanjing said.

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then send Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde to lead five hundred people!"

"General, please obey your order!" Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde bowed and saluted.

"If something is wrong, the two generals must retreat immediately!" Li Shimin warned.

"only!"

Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong led five hundred elites to rush towards Luoyang quickly, and soon rushed to the city gate. They saw that the city gate was already wide open at this time, and several people were standing at the city gate. Qin Qiong saw Shan Xiongxin at a glance. He quickly shouted: "But Brother Shan?"

"It's Second Brother Qin!" Shan Xiongxin said happily.

Seeing that it was Shan Xiongxin, Qin Qiong immediately felt relieved. After greeting Shan Xiongxin, he immediately led his army into the city. After ensuring safety, he immediately sent someone back to report.

After Li Shimin received the news from Qin Qiong, he immediately issued an order and ordered the army to enter the city. Naturally, the entry of the army could not be concealed, and it was soon known to other soldiers in the city.

Shan Xiongxin, Yuchi Jingde, and Qin Qiong immediately led the army and rushed directly to the palace.

Originally, Wang Shichong relied on Luoyang City and was no match for the Tang Army. Now that the Tang Army broke into the city directly, those Wang Shichong's troops were no longer a match.

What's more, during this period of time, Wang Shichong had been acting counterintuitively and supplies were scarce. Those soldiers had long reached the limit of their patience. After seeing the Tang army entering the city, many of them directly defected on the battlefield.

Shan Xiongxin and the others quickly broke through three obstacles, and within a moment, they had already rushed to the entrance of the palace. At this time, the palace had already received news that the Tang army had entered the city, and the soldiers guarding the palace were panicked.

Shan Xiongxin, Yuchi Jingde, and Qin Qiong were all brave enough. When the three of them charged, no one dared to stop them. The palace guards only resisted for a moment, and then they dispersed.

Some of the remaining people even opened the palace gates and rushed to surrender. The three of them ignored these people and rushed in directly to capture Wang Shichong.

When Wang Shichong learned that the Tang army had entered the city, he panicked and wanted to run away, but it was already too late. Before he could run to the palace, he was knocked down by Yuchi Jingde with a mace.
