Chapter 429 Chapter 427 [Autumn wind sweeps fallen leaves]

To the north of the palace, outside Hening Gate.

The eldest prince resolutely revolted with the determination to die. Thousands of forbidden troops witnessed it with their own eyes. They watched the eldest son of the Tian family kill dozens of rebels at the cost of their lives. So far, no one believed the demagogic words of the rebels. All the forbidden troops They all firmly believed that the eldest prince was coerced by the rebels.

Because he proved it all with his heroic blood.

When the eldest prince was sent to the rear by Shen Yulai, the inspired soldiers of the Forbidden Army united as one and burst out with the courage to die with the enemy, killing all the rebels who tried to threaten the palace wall.

The rebels were unable to break through the Forbidden Army's defense line, and were frightened by the eldest prince's life-threatening aura. As a result, the offensive became even weaker.

If this situation continues, they will not be able to break into the palace for another three days. On the contrary, it is very likely to collapse on its own.

Two elite Beijing troops led by Wang Yan arrived in time, finally regaining the confidence of the rebels.

At this moment, there are nearly 40,000 rebels outside the palace, and after Wang Yan took over the command, the rebel offensive has clearly become organized. It is no longer limited to Heningmen, and small-scale attacks continue to appear on the east and west sides. But it was an extremely brutal battle.

Although the palace is majestic and majestic, it is not a city after all and cannot form an absolute defensive advantage.

……

In front of him was a battlefield of iron and blood. Wang Yan's eyes were spitting fire, and his mind was extremely angry.

Wang Yan finally couldn't help but cursed: "Trash!"

Shen Yulai raised his head and glanced at the deep night. It was the darkest moment of the night, but the white sky would eventually appear.

Li Duan was still standing in the corridor. After listening to the report of the forbidden soldier, he nodded and said: "You have done a good job. Tell Shen Yulai to stop the rebels at all costs. It will only take an hour at most."

Before he finished speaking, several fireworks suddenly exploded in the distant night sky, as if in response to the previous fireworks over the palace.

Outside He Ning Gate, Wang Yan, who kept urging the rebels to strengthen their offensive, naturally noticed the fireworks. A chill and fear instantly climbed into his heart, making his expression extremely ferocious. He sternly said to the generals around him: "No more Give you a quarter of an hour. If the Forbidden Army defense line cannot be destroyed, military law will be engaged!"

Qin Zheng looked at his back as he ran away like the wind, and whispered: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Forbidden Army are loyal and brave. I believe that they will fight to the end for Your Majesty. It's just that the rebels have a numerical advantage and the offensive becomes more fierce. If the Forbidden Army's defense line is attacked, If there is a breakthrough, there may be chaos. I urge your Majesty and the concubines to temporarily evacuate through that secret passage. The rebels are now in a strong position. As long as the two armies arrive, the situation can be settled. Before that, just in case. One, Your Majesty might as well——"

Gradually, a small group of rebels broke into the wall. The commander of the Forbidden Army, Shen Yulai, remained calm. He deployed his troops from a high place and repeatedly surrounded and killed the rebels who broke in. At the same time, he tried to keep the defense line of the northern palace wall stable.

Li Duan nodded, but there was no smile on his face. He just looked at the sky quietly.

The rebel offensive surged instantly, and the intensity of the war rose sharply. The Forbidden Army soldiers gritted their teeth and supported it under the command of Shen Yulai.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and said: "The overall situation has been decided, I would like to congratulate Your Majesty!"

He turned his head and looked to the north. How could Guo Congyi be so unbearable that he could not defeat the more than 10,000 men in Liu Shouguang's hands with several times his strength?

Behind the Duancheng Palace, hundreds of imperial guards were waiting, loyally protecting the emperor's safety.

According to the original plan, Guo Congyi should deal with Liu Shouguang at this time, lead his troops to the palace to complete the rendezvous, and crush the imperial army with an absolute advantage.

Everyone was shocked. Seeing Wang Yan going crazy, no one dared to speak out and could only convey military orders to their subordinates.

Shen Yulai gave the order calmly, and a forbidden soldier immediately took the order and ran back.

"Go and tell your Majesty that the palace defense will not be compromised within two hours."

Qin Zheng turned his head and looked around, only to see extremely brilliant fireworks on the night sky in the west and north directions.

Li Duan said calmly: "No need."

The Imperial Guards responded respectfully.

North City.

Guo Congyi's face was ashen, and the guards next to him also looked solemn.

He never expected that with three times the strength of the Qianniu Army, Long Xiang Army and Guowei Army of the Heroic Camp, he could not defeat more than 10,000 people led by Liu Shouguang!
Although there is an objective reason for this, that is, the battlefield chosen by both sides is not a wide and flat field in the wild, where the side with the superior strength cannot calmly set up its formation. However, the three armies took turns taking turns to fight, and they could never get rid of this hard nut in front of them.

Liu Shouguang was tall and burly, like an iron tower looming over the world. No one in the opposing formation was an enemy of the spear in his hand.

But he was not foolhardy. Faced with the siege of the three armies summoned by Guo Congyi, he personally led the guard battalion to block the enemy in front. He also asked Huo Huaishan, the commander of the Yongyi Army, to lead the army to stabilize the rear formation and maintain his own formation. stable state.

The shouts of killing continued, but Liu Shouguang was not at all complacent in his heart. Even though he was one against three, the situation in the palace was still unknown. What he was most worried about was the emperor's safety.

If the emperor makes a mistake, what's the point of killing all the enemies in front of him?
When he thought of this, Liu Shouguang said sternly: "Personal guard camp, follow this general to kill to the southeast!"

The brave men around responded in unison. They instantly understood what their commander was thinking. They could not continue fighting and must find a breakthrough and rush to the palace for support.

Guo Congyi quickly noticed Liu Shouguang's intention, and he sneered: "Okay, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out!"

When he was mobilizing his troops and preparing to weave his bags, the fireworks rising in the night in the north almost illuminated the vast world.

These fireworks were so splendid and beautiful that even the soldiers of the Beijing army who were locked in a life-and-death struggle could not help but look up and watch.

Before the fireworks completely disappeared, thunder rolled in.

The first person to notice the abnormality was the Guowei Army of the Yongyi Camp who stormed the rear of the Yongyi Army.

The soldiers who were resting in rotation turned around and looked, their pupils dilated instantly, because countless cavalry appeared at the end of the long street and rushed towards them.

These cavalry were like the god of death in the night. Under the leadership of the young prince, they were like swords from outside the sky that pierced the vital points of Guowei's army!
Lu Chen held up his spear and rode his horse. After fending off some arrows shot hastily by Sergeant Guowei, he jumped into the opponent's formation without hesitation. Blood burst out wherever the spear touched!

When he led the army into the city, he learned about the situation in the city from the secret agents of the Weaving Department who had been waiting for a long time. He then asked the agents to release fireworks and rushed to the battlefield without stopping.

The cavalry arrived too suddenly, and Guowei's army was completely unprepared. In addition, there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and the formation was quickly disrupted.

A sudden change occurred, and Liu Shouguang immediately gave up the plan of forceful assault, ordered the Yongyi Army soldiers to block the enemy in front, and then turned back with the guard battalion to cooperate with the sudden appearance of the cavalry to attack Guowei Army.

On the noisy battlefield, Lu Chen and Liu Shouguang seemed to have the same mind. Each of them led the most elite tiger and warrior divisions under their command, advancing side by side from the south to the north, killing Guowei's army like a falling flower!
Guo Wei's army did not hold out for too long, and Guo Congyi's army collapsed before Guo Congyi could break through the Yongyi army's position.

"Marquis Shanyang, the palace is in danger!"

Liu Shouguang didn't say anything nonsense. He looked at the young prince opposite with his blood-stained shirt and yelled hastily. Lu Chen said loudly: "General, please ask the soldiers in front to withdraw to both sides!"

Liu Shouguang immediately responded: "Okay!"

Lu Chen added: "After our army has dispersed the enemy, I will immediately lead the troops to the palace, and Guo Congyi will be handed over to the general!"

Liu Shouguang nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry!"

Lu Chen looked at the cavalry brothers behind him and said loudly: "Brothers, do you have the strength to follow my general to break the formation and kill the enemy?"

Lin Xi and Li Bingxue did not speak, but looked at him with determination.

What responded to Lu Chen was the calm and generous voice of the soldiers: "We haven't killed enough yet!"

"it is good!"

Lu Chen smiled casually, and then said sternly: "Show the flag!"

On the other side of the battlefield, although Guo Congyi was not clear about the specific situation in the distance, he at least knew that Liu Shouguang had reinforcements, and he was soon aware of the defeat of Guowei's army, so he quickly suspended his offensive and set up on the spot. check.

No matter what, these people cannot be allowed to go to the palace.

Just as Qianniu Army and Longxiang Army were adjusting their formations, the soldiers suddenly discovered that the Yongyi Army on the opposite side was retreating in both directions.

This scene made Guo Congyi's expression become more solemn.

The sound of horse hooves sounded like waves and thunder.

Countless cavalrymen charged forward in the wake of shouts that woke up the night!
"Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, Feiyuying entered the capital under the order of King Qin! Anyone who blocks it will be killed without mercy!"

The cavalry gradually accelerated, and the ground shook.

"In the Dingzhou Governor's Mansion, the Seven-Star Army is ordered to enter the capital by King Qin! Anyone who stands in the way will be killed without mercy!"

The huge wave has arrived in front of us and is gradually becoming a monstrous force.

"According to the emperor's decree, Shanyang Hou Luchen led the army to Beijing to quell the rebellion! Anyone who refuses to surrender will have their entire family executed and all nine tribes will be implicated!"

With these three words echoing in everyone's ears, the momentum of this cavalry suddenly rose to its peak!

The soldiers of Qianniu Army and Longxiang Army all showed fear on their faces. After Guo Congyi heard the name Lu Chen clearly, a look of despair suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Lu Chen took the lead, and the rest of the cavalry followed closely.

He tightened his grip on the spear in his hand, pointed it forward with all his strength, and roared: "Kill!"

Like boiling soup and splashing snow, like burning fire burning the forest.

Led by Lu Chen, this elite cavalry fought their way through a fierce fight.

They did not love fighting at all, leaving the battlefield to their brave comrades behind them.

Then head all the way south!
……

royal palace.

The flames of war spread everywhere.

Under Wang Yan's crazy orders, the rebels finally broke through the outermost palace wall. However, the imperial army refused to give in and relied on the complex terrain inside the palace to resist tenaciously. Even though their number was far less than the rebels, no one was timid. Cringe.

Whenever a Forbidden Army soldier fell, someone would immediately rush up to take his place regardless of their own safety.

Such bravery and loyalty are enough to scare the hearts of the rebels.

Outside He Ning's gate, Wang Yan's chest was heaving violently.

There is still some time before dawn, and the palace has been completely surrounded. He only needs a little time to kill the emperor, and then use the third prince to control the overall situation!

He stared intently at the battle ahead, his hands shaking slightly involuntarily.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion from behind.

Wang Yan turned his head and looked around, only to see countless torches appearing in the north of Yu Street.

He quickly rode his horse back and led the guard battalion to the rear. When he saw the faces under the torches clearly, his eyes suddenly glowed with vicious hatred.

"The Duke of Jing's Mansion, Han Zhongjie is here!"

"Jinlin Li family, Li Yingzhi is here!"

"Qingyuan Xue family, Xue Dingjun is here!"

One after another.

One voice after another rang out on the imperial street. They represented all the forces loyal to the emperor in the city. They gathered together at this moment to form an extremely determined team and marched forward bravely towards the rear of the rebels.

Compared with the Beijing army led by Wang Yan, the team composed of these dignitaries' mansions seemed extremely chaotic, with a variety of armors and weapons, but they had the belief that they would die loyal to their emperor.

Wang Yan shouted ferociously: "Kill them all!"

However, this team did not hesitate and continued to move forward and accelerate.

Han Zhongjie's father Han Lingfu's instructions came to mind. He stared ahead and roared angrily: "For Da Qi, for Your Majesty, kill!"

"kill!"

The crowds are surging, and the sound of killing is loud!
