Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 414
He Tie has always been a dedicated person, whether in the Xi dynasty or the Yuanzhuo years, he has never made any mistakes. For him, it is his bounden duty to ensure the safety of the royal family. He has always thought so, and also He did so, so the explosion at Donghuamen was an order to him, but when he led a group of soldiers from Zishanpuying to Donghuamen, he found that the situation was more serious than he had originally imagined——Donghuamen. A huge hole suddenly appeared in the lower right corner of the strong gate of Huamen, which was big enough for a person to get through. There were stumps and broken arms everywhere in the city gate, and there was a large piece of blood and flesh, which looked very embarrassing.

"What's going on?" He Tie grabbed a Shanpu soldier who was running past him in a panic, and shouted.

"Pao, my lord, Pao, someone is firing at the palace gate," stammered the terrified soldier.

"Fart!" He Tie didn't believe that there was any cannon that could blow up the two-inch thick palace gate into such a shape. Moreover, although the hole was burnt black, as if it had been bombarded, it was located on the right. The lower corner is clearly caused by explosives.He Tie pushed the soldier away fiercely, rushed up to the gate tower in three steps and two steps, and shouted: "Calm down, don't mess up! Stay alert!" Seeing that their master was coming, the Shanpuying sergeant had a backbone, and they all returned to their original positions. After a long period of panic, they never saw any other movement.

"General Wang, what's going on?" He Tieyan was relieved to see reinforcements arriving one after another, and hurriedly called a general who was in charge of guarding Donghua Gate to ask what happened.

"My lord, when the incident happened, my lord was on the top of the city gate, only to hear a loud noise, and the entire city gate shook violently. Before my lord could figure out what was going on, my lord came." Wang Shen Will also replied in a daze.

"Bastard! Who is in charge of guarding the gate?" He Tieyan stared at General Wang's question and couldn't speak, and his face suddenly turned dark—such a big event happened at such an extraordinary moment. As the chief guard of the palace, He Tie Iron is absolutely inseparable from the relationship.

"My lord, I'm from Wang He, but..." General Wang Can swallowed his saliva and stammered.

"It's just a fart! Say it quickly!" He Tie, whose eyes were red in a hurry, pulled out the big knife from his waist and put it on General Wang Can's neck. He yelled: "Master He, please forgive me, they are all dead, all of them are dead..."

"Dead?" He Tie was angry and anxious, but seeing that the palace gate here was damaged, Ba Ye's people might attack from here at any time, and it was getting late, if there was something good or bad, then He Tie would die It is hard to absolve the blame, the dark-faced He Tielue thought about it, and had to loudly order to strengthen the vigilance, and sent people from various gates of the Forbidden City to guard the Donghua Gate. This is a difficult task, and now some people are stretched, and the guards of the other gates are inevitably relaxed a lot.

When the explosion of Donghua Gate was heard, Lin Xuanyi had just transferred 2000 troops from Donghua Gate according to the imperial decree, and rushed to Donghua Gate along the long street. When the explosion sounded, Lin Xuanyi suddenly became anxious. He urged the soldier to rush towards Donghua Gate with a lot of sound. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw He Tie's dark face standing in the bright light of Donghua Gate, and he couldn't help but relax. Just when I was about to contact He Tie for a while, I suddenly heard He Tie's loud voice from above the city gate: "Get ready to fight!"

Although Lin Xuanyi is not proficient in military affairs, he also knew that his side turned out from the dark and did not light torches. Misunderstandings may be inevitable. He hurriedly reined in his horse and ordered loudly: "Stop advancing, light torches! When the soldiers found the torch, Lin Xuanyi took the torch from a soldier beside him, and was about to go forward to negotiate with He Tie, when something happened—but it was heard that a small group of people were not far away. They shouted from the roof: "Come on, go to the palace." Following those shouts, a burst of sparse arrows shot out from the darkness, even though none of the feathered arrows could reach the palace. They really passed through the small square in front of Donghua Gate all by themselves, but the sound of bowstrings and the sound of feathered arrows piercing the air were extremely ear-piercing.At this time, not only the officers and soldiers of the Shanpu Battalion on the upper floor of the city gate were nervous, but also the Dongzhimen defenders who followed Lin Xuanyi were in a panic, and the city and the city became a mess.

not good!Got it!This thought quickly flashed through Lin Xuanyi's mind, knowing that his actions were all expected, this was a trick to fish in troubled waters, Prince Lian's men were just a feint at Donghuamen - the explosion together with the The shouts and attacks are all to cover the real main direction of attack.The explanation is no longer clear, if our troops move forward, I'm afraid there will be a fight, and by then it will be too late!Lin Xuanyi is a wise man, and he understood the key point of the matter just after thinking about it, and hurriedly ordered loudly: "The whole army is here, retreat!"

Just as the Donghua Gate was in full swing, a dozen black-clothed masked men quietly appeared in the northwest corner of the palace, and a big man in the head knocked lightly and rhythmically on a small door, but Hearing a sound inside, the small door slowly opened a small crack, a puffy middle-aged eunuch poked his head out from the door, and asked in a low voice: "Are you here? Hurry up." The voice Trembling badly.

"Eunuch Xing, you have made a great contribution. The eighth master has ordered you. After the matter is completed, you will be the eunuch in charge of ceremonies. Open the door quickly." The big man in black with a mask said calmly.

"Okay, a certain house will open the door." After a rustling sound, the iron chain that was originally tied to the door was removed, and the small door was completely opened.

The group of black-clothed men didn't make a sound, and pushed the middle-aged eunuch aside. A dozen or so black-clothed men rushed in and quickly formed a guard around the door. The leader of the black-clothed man He nodded to the flustered middle-aged eunuch, then took out a torch from his arms, shook it against the wind, lit the torch, and shook it up and down in his hand. At the corner, hundreds of well-dressed men quickly rushed across the open space in front of the imperial city towards the door...

The little eunuch Hu Song was very unlucky today, he just said one thing: he was reported for any battle he fought well, he was beaten ten times, the pain was unbearable, and he was demoted to Xinzheku to do odd jobs Oh, look at this bad luck?Hu Song was restless, and his butt hurt so badly that it was uncomfortable to sit or lie down, so he simply took advantage of the night to walk around, and by the way, the bruises on his buttocks were drained. In the yard, Hu Song suddenly felt an urgency to urinate, but he didn’t dare to release it anywhere. He insisted on urinating, and moved his feet to a dark place. Just as he was about to relax, he suddenly found a fire not far away. , my heart skipped a beat, and I flashed to the back of the pillars in the corridor to take a closer look, and was dumbfounded—a dozen big men were standing by a door with swords in their hands. The guards in the palace.

Hu Song was originally a young eunuch in Kunning Palace. Although he had no status, he was well-informed. Although he was demoted, he still knew that the palace was under strict martial law tonight. After entering the palace, Hu Song couldn't help being overjoyed despite being nervous—the opportunity to make meritorious service came, and if he made such a great contribution, a deacon and eunuch would not be able to escape.

Hu Song, who was ecstatic in his heart, completely forgot his urgency to urinate, and stepped back lightly, intending to run to the guards to report him, but he forgot the pain on his buttocks. The group of black-clothed men were already nervous, but when they heard the noise, several big men flew up at the same time and rushed towards the corridor, their bodies The method is extremely fast, and it is obvious that they are all masters.

"Come here, there are thieves sneaking into the palace!" Seeing that he couldn't escape, Hu Song shouted at the top of his voice. When the battalion sergeants heard the sudden shout, they immediately swarmed towards Xinzheku.The group of men in black didn't expect that the matter would be exposed to an insignificant eunuch, and suddenly became angry, and chopped Hu Song into meat sauce with a knife.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The Shanpuying soldiers holding torches saw the flickering figures outside Xin Zheku, and the shadows of swords, lights and swords swayed, and they roared loudly, and there was a sudden chaos in the palace. Hundreds of well-dressed men rushed to the small door, but the door was narrow, and they couldn't swarm in for a while, and a group of people crowded into a ball at the door.More than a dozen big men in black in the advanced garden are all masters. Although they faced the attack of twenty or thirty Shanpuying soldiers, they did not panic at all. Instead, they gained the upper hand and oppressed the Shanpuying soldiers who rushed over Can't stop going backwards.With the continuous influx of well-dressed men outside the palace, the soldiers of Shanpuying immediately lost their strength and suffered heavy casualties. Except for a few soldiers of Shanpuying who arrived first, they were all dead. kill.

Seeing that the "enemy army" outside the Donghua Gate had already retreated, He Tiegang breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly heard the cry of the little eunuch Hu Song before he died, and then heard the cry of "enemy attack" from the northwest corner. The sounds of fighting and fighting made my head dizzy, and my face suddenly turned pale—the Donghua Gate had been destroyed, and there were still a large number of "enemy troops" outside the gate. Once troops were sent to reinforce the northwest corner, once the enemy troops outside the gate launched an attack, How can it be stopped, but if no one is sent to support, once the northwest corner is breached, the palace will still be unable to defend!The red-eyed He Tie walked around the city gate, not knowing what to do for a while.

Lin Xuanyi, who retreated to the street, didn't hear the little eunuch's shout, but he heard the sound of "enemy attack" from the soldiers of Shanpuying.Connecting the whole incident before and after, Lin Xuanyi already understood the whole plan of Prince Lian—whether it was the explosion or the breakthrough in the northwest corner of the imperial city, it was all due to internal response, making full use of human psychology, and pretending to be fake. While people loyal to the emperor were suspicious of each other, they broke through the imperial city in one fell swoop.Once Prince Lian's people enter the imperial city and control the Queen Mother and the princes, no matter how powerful Prince Yi is outside, it will be of no avail, unless Prince Yi is willing to risk the world's disgrace, disregarding the safety of the hostages, and forcefully raise troops To attack, of course, with Yunxiang's personality, he may not have the courage.

Now there are two paths before Lin Xuanyi: one is to lead the army from the square around the wall of the palace to the northwest corner of the imperial city without hesitation, and attack Prince Lian from behind, but one may not be able to catch up, Once Shanpuying decides that Lin Bu is also a rebel, they will definitely send troops to stop them. In this way, Prince Lian can only be cheapened in vain, but Lin Xuanyi's life may not be in danger; the second way is for Lin Xuanyi to go forward in person Go to intercede with the matter, and at the same time let the soldiers under his command and the soldiers of the Shanpu camp on the top of the city gate attack Prince Lian's troops at both ends. In this way, Lin Xuanyi's own life is in danger—the man hiding in the dark Those archers would never let Lin Xuanyi explain things clearly.

The time at this moment is undoubtedly extremely precious, and Lin Xuanyi couldn't afford it at all, so he could only look up to the sky and sigh, and said loudly: "Chengfu, cover me, wait for me to come forward and explain to He Tie! Commander Ling , you don’t need to worry about the possible attack on the city, rush across the small square at full speed, and advance along the wall of the palace to the northwest corner. Anyone who resists will be killed! But you are not allowed to enter the palace for any reason, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded! Take action!” Voice As soon as it fell, Lin Xuanyi held a torch and rushed towards the city gate. Sun Chengfu led a few "Honghu" masters to follow up on horseback. For a moment, two thousand troops rushed up with a bang, the momentum was astonishingly large.

Seeing a man with the appearance of a civil servant holding a torch leading a few horses out of the long street, and then hearing the sound of rumbling footsteps on the long street, He Tie on the gate tower could no longer delay , ordered loudly: "The archers are ready!"

Just as Lin Xuanyi rushed to the small square, there was a sound of bowstrings in the dark behind him, and dozens of feathered arrows shot towards Lin Xuanyi's vest like locusts...
