Chapter 1216 Two arrows determine the situation

"Brother, the second brother is catching up!" Li Jiancheng kept running back, but Li Yuanji kept looking back, and then reported to Li Jiancheng.

"Ignore him and run forward! As long as we get out of Xuanwu Gate, we will win!" Li Jiancheng said loudly, but Li Yuanji on the side felt guilty. Seeing Li Shimin chasing closer and closer, he took off the bow and arrow beside him and planned to bend the bow. Zhang arrow shot Li Shimin to death.

But at this time, Li Yuanji was confused and too impatient. He was in a state of chaos. He shot three arrows, but each arrow did not fully draw the bow string, so even though his archery skills were quite good, Every feather arrow came close to Li Shimin, but they were unable to penetrate Li Shimin's armor.

But Li Shimin was not the case. At this time, Li Shimin was also bending his bow and shooting arrows. Li Yuanji shot three arrows, but Li Shimin didn't shoot a single arrow. Instead, he kept accumulating energy and aiming, concentrating all his energy and energy. To the extreme.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuanji felt like he was dead. He knew that once Li Shimin's arrow was shot, he would definitely die.

But he knew clearly that Li Yuanji could not change anything at this time. He watched with his own eyes as Li Shimin loosened his bowstring and the arrow shot out like an arrow from the string (seemingly nonsense). Li Yuanji closed his eyes directly. , wailing in my heart, "My life is at stake!"

As a result, after waiting for a long time, Li Yuanji did not feel any pain in his body. Instead, he heard a wailing cry from his elder brother next to him.

Li Yuanji suddenly opened his eyes and found that the sword had shot directly into Li Jiancheng's neck. The sharp arrow even penetrated the entire neck, and a large amount of blood spurted out from the wound.

Such injuries are difficult to cure in modern times, let alone in the Tang Dynasty. Li Jiancheng used his last strength to glance at Li Yuanji beside him, as if he wanted to say something, but maybe the wind was too strong and the voice was blown away. Or perhaps because even his vocal cords had been pierced by arrows, Li Jiancheng still didn't say a word after all. In the end, he fell straight from his horse and turned into a corpse on the ground.

Because the guards of the Prince of Qin's Mansion were originally superb equestrian masters, these people turned into cavalry in an instant and came directly from the Paoma Tower. They blocked the exit of the Xuanwu Gate with their cavalry. At the same time, they also shot Li Yuanji with arrows. .

At the critical moment, more than 70 cavalrymen rushed over, led by Yuchi Jingde.

Originally, in order to remain concealed, Li Shimin's guards all entered the Xuanwu Gate on foot, and there were no cavalry at all. But at the critical moment, Yuchi Jingde had an idea and remembered that the horse racing building was nearby, where Li Yuan usually raced horses and practiced riding with many princes. Naturally, there were a large number of royal horses here.

At this time, the guard of Xuanwu Gate was ordering the army to close the door. Because the gate of Xuanwu Gate was too huge and heavy, the door was not closed for a while. Many of Li Jiancheng's guards rushed out in advance and called the police to the East Palace.

Normally, these royal horses are absolutely not allowed to be touched, but at this time, he naturally did not care about it. Yuchi Jingde drove away all the eunuchs and guards in the horse racing building and used all the more than 70 royal horses inside.

"Run! Run!!" Li Yuanji had no time to grieve for the death of his elder brother. He fled frantically and finally approached the Xuanwu Gate.

Li Yuanji didn't want to be shot alive like his elder brother, so he chose to dodge. As a result, although he escaped the fatal arrow, he fell off his horse and was theoretically dead.

But this chaotic situation frightened Li Shimin's horse that was chasing him, and led Li Shimin directly into the nearby woods. Li Shimin was caught by a branch in the forest, fell from his horse, fell to the ground, and couldn't get up for a while. .

And this position happened to be Li Yuanji. Li Yuanji hated Li Shimin, so he quickly came over, took the bow and arrow from Li Shimin's hand, and prepared to strangle Li Shimin with the bowstring. Li Shimin's life was in danger. However, this danger was actually false, because within a few seconds, Yuchi Gong jumped on his horse and galloped over, and a loud shout made Li Yuanji suddenly wake up.

He knew that if he still wanted to kill Li Shimin at this time, he would probably be killed by Yuchi Gong.

At the critical moment, Li Yuanji still wanted to save his life, so he quickly let go of Li Shimin and no longer wanted to break through the Xuanwu Gate. Instead, he rushed towards the rockery and ran towards the Wude Hall, hoping to seek Li Yuan sheltered.

Li Yuanji had a good idea. Horses cannot go up the mountain, so as long as he goes up the mountain, the opponent's cavalry will also become infantry, and there will be no advantage in speed.

As long as he can escape into the Wude Hall, there is still the possibility of everything turning over.

However, Li Yuanji had a good idea, but Yuchi Gong was a fierce man. He did not give up this opportunity given to him by God, and quickly caught up with him. Before Li Yuanji could run into the rockery, he shot Li Yuanji with a precise arrow. Yuanji.

Like his elder brother, Li Yuanji was shot through the neck, looked at Li Shimin stupidly, and fell down.

Li Shimin, who had regained his composure, walked to Li Yuanji's body with the help of several generals. At the same time, another general carried Li Jiancheng's body over and watched the two closest brothers with feathers on their necks. The arrow was lying in front of him with a dead look on his face. Li Shimin didn't know what he felt. He just stood there, as if he had lost his soul.

But Li Shimin's generals did not know the pain in Li Shimin's heart at this time, and they all began to cheer collectively.

They won such a risky battle. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were both dead. The palace was about to fall into their control. Their general Tiance was about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and they, the generals of the Eastern Palace, would follow suit. The rising tide lifts all boats, and he became the founder of the Tang Dynasty and the hero of Conglong!

Of course they cheered loudly.

Such loud cheers also woke Li Shimin out of his grief. He forced a smile, and then said seriously, "Everyone, it's not the time to celebrate yet. The boss and the third boss still have 5000 people to protect them. Father's side." There is no one to protect our safety. Everyone in the world will be watching us, and we may die without a burial place at any time. The great cause is only the first step, and the next thing is the most important thing!"

"Yes!" After hearing Li Shimin's words, everyone calmed down, and then Li Shimin began to assign tasks decisively. Let Yuchi Jingde immediately lead the army to control Hanyuan Hall, Wude Hall and other places, especially to protect the dangerous father and prevent him from being harmed at all.

On the other side, they are firmly guarding the Xuanwu Gate. Many of the prince's remnants escaped just now. The prince's guards will definitely rush over to avenge the prince. If they cannot hold the Xuanwu Gate and let 5000 guards rush in, everything will be over. .

So Li Shimin sent Zhang Gongjin and others to help defend the Xuanwu Gate. On the other side, he asked people to cut off the heads of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. As long as they were delivered to the guards, they would loudly announce that they were willing to pardon everyone. These guards had lost their backbone. , they will definitely scatter and collapse, posing no threat!

With Li Shimin's many arrangements, Xuanwu Gate and the entire palace were tightly controlled, and Li Shimin also killed many things in his own humanity and was about to ascend to the supreme position!
