Chapter 569: Battle of the City Gate

Just when Wang Langjun was in a dilemma to rescue his family, Tonghua had an accident.

Nowadays, the wind and clouds will meet, and the clouds cover the stars and moons.

Even the torches outside the Tonghua Gate were bright, but they were diluted by the wind and clouds, covering most of the brilliance.

This made countless figures, on the wall of Tonghuamen, overlooking the crowd under the light of the torches under the city, with a hazy shadow all over their bodies.

It was as if everything in the heavens and the earth was about to be swallowed up by the clouds.

The wind is strong and the atmosphere is pressing.

There is also an inexplicable depression and tension, which lingers in everyone's minds and lingers.

At this time, a red dragon approached from the northeast, breaking this oppressive atmosphere.

"Bang la la"

The moat exploded into a curtain of water.

The water droplets scattered in all directions, and in an instant, the hundred-meter-long river channel was filled, forming a wall of splashing water.

"Ah, there's someone in the moat ......"

"Not good, they're assassins......"

The soldiers standing on the city wall above the Tonghua Gate exclaimed.

But they only saw black shadows flying out of the water curtain, and they couldn't do anything as they watched.

And the black shadow that rushed out of the water curtain was in the low air with a bow and arrows.

"Rustle, Boom, Boom"

Accompany them to the grass on the riverbank, forming a one-line attack formation, gathering a crowd to shoot arrows at the crowd hundreds of meters away.

The rain of arrows pointed directly at Wang Tai's family in the crowd, shrouding and covering the past.

This made Wang Tai's face look like ashes with fright, and he exclaimed: "Ah, the assassin ......"

"Protect your child's ......"

Wang Ma was more simple than him, and when she spoke, she protected a pair of children under her body and faced the rain of arrows with her back.

And in their Wei Zheng and Xu Maogong, they don't seem to say anything.

It's just that my face is not good-looking and I break out in a cold sweat.

Of course, they witnessed the indifference of the hermit masters who were guarding the surroundings, so they forcibly calmed down the frightened minds and maintained the dignity of not being alarmed.

"Rustle"

The hermit master subconsciously formed a defensive circle around Wang Tai's family.

When the arrow rain approached, it exerted force in different directions, swinging out invisible energy, clanging, a chaotic sound, and the arrow rain flew away.

Not a single arrow pierced through the curtain wall of Qijin, threatening the lives of Wang Tai's family.

A crisis was resolved in the blink of an eye.

It's just that the black-clothed team on the opposite side shot a rain of arrows one after another: "Xiu Xiu Xiu"

Never stop dying, deliberately shooting everyone?

This made the hermit master tired of coping, and he was unable to rush forward to kill the black-clad team and solve the crisis once and for all.

At this time, Xu Maogong couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Xu Maogong is here, who is on duty at Tonghua Gate, and he doesn't shoot the man in black, what are you waiting for?" ”

"Bang la la"

He was answered by a second splash.

The second team of men in black rushed out of the water curtain, and behind the first team of men in black, they guarded with shields.

This shocked the guards who reacted, and came back to their senses and ordered: "All listen to the order, shoot the men in black in groups, prepare, shoot ......"

"Woohoo"

"Jingle Bell"

As a result, a unique battle was presented as a tripartite interpretation.

It's also a weird fight.

Whether the guard refuses to open the door, let Wang Tai's family enter Chang'an, or the black-clothed team suddenly kills, it all has a bad feeling.

Of course, the black-clothed team must be inseparable from the stand-in of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Whether this has anything to do with the eldest grandson Wuji is intriguing.

However, the rain of arrows shot by the black-clothed team was far from being comparable to the rain of arrows shot by the soldiers on the city wall.

This is reflected in the sound of arrows raining through the air.

The rain of arrows shot by the black-clad team whined, drowning out most of the sound.

This puts the hermit master at risk.

It's just that they all have a good face, and they don't make a sound.

But all of them turned red, and they saw beads of sweat, which made Xu Maogong look frightened with the help of the brilliance of the torches, and immediately shouted at the city gate guards: "Open the city gate, arrest the assassins, and those who resist will be killed......

"Lord Xu, please forgive me for my duty not to open the door and kill the enemy."

The guard overlooked the shadow of the crowd in the black rain of arrows, and said with a businesslike emphasis.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with what he said.

Don't say it's just Wei Zheng, Xu Maogong and Wang Tai's family came, and he didn't open the city gate.

Even if the emperor returns to Chang'an, he may not open the city gate.

Why is that?

Obviously, this question is intriguing and must be hidden.

First, these are extraordinary times and must be treated with caution.

Whether it is the emperor's defeat and return in the battle against the Boundless Palace.

It was Wei Zheng and Xu Maogong who escorted Wang Tai's family to Chang'an, all of whom were dangerous people who could not distinguish between friend and foe.

Obviously, if Wang Langjun used them to defraud the city and take advantage of the night to gain imperial power, it was not impossible.

After all, Wang Langjun is fierce and powerful.

couldn't help defeating the emperor's army of more than 100,000 and capturing more than 100,000 troops.

Moreover, more than 200 hermit masters were repelled, and it is not known whether Wang Langjun captured them.

In this case, the guard will not dare to open the door, which is really his duty.

Until the situation is clarified and the order of the crown prince is received, the guards will not open the gates.

At the very least, I don't dare to open the city gate tonight.

Second, there is an undercurrent surging in the entire Chang'an City, and crises are lurking.

Although there is no sign of dispatching troops, many people run around at night, and they know that they are the eyes, ears, and heralds of the people in the major forces without asking.

This was a precursor to the usurpation of the throne.

or scattered in planning to rescue the emperor.

In this case, the guard will be ordered to guard the Tonghua Gate, and he will not dare to disobey the order.

Third, when the guards came out of the black-clothed team, they had already shielded, connived, and even simply black-clothed team.

In order to complete the task of blocking and killing Wang Tai's family.

At the same time, to make sure that he does not die, what should he do?

Obviously, it is safest not to open the city gate and take the crown prince's ruling as an amulet.

Besides, he opened the city gate and led the soldiers to kill the black-clothed team, which was to send people to their heads, and they were simply sent to death.

And if he is a gang of the black team and kills his own people, it is unrealistic.

There may be another way, that is, to assist the black-clothed team to kill in front of Wang Tai's family, kill them all, and complete the task.

However, the black-clothed team could hardly shake the defensive circle of the hermit master, and it seemed that it was not time to attack at this time.

Therefore, to sum up, Xu Maogong was thinking about it, and whispered in a somewhat confused voice: "Wei Sanben, what should I do now?"

Or we'll retreat......"

"Retreat?

Why did we retreat?

If you retreat this time, you won't have a face to see people in the future......"

Wei Zheng was angry, he was really angry, not only pulled his gray beard, glared at him and said.

Of course, he said this completely to Changsun Wuji.

After all, his intelligence is not superior in battle strategy, but political governance.

This time, he was miserable by the eldest grandson Wuji, and his face was disgraced, and if he retreated at this time, he would have no face to see.

In response to the defeat and exposure of the stand-in, the eldest grandson Wuji, if he retreats at this time, even if he finally overthrows the eldest grandson Wuji, his reputation will be ruined.

To put it bluntly, this is a battle of integrity.

He can't afford to lose now.

And his situation, in the eyes of Xu Maogong, was purely irrational, and immediately said: "Do you want everyone to die here?" ”

"Death, that's why they die first, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Wei Zheng said as if he were dead, indifferent.

So, the two of them quarreled.

The whole Wang Tai family trembled and walked on thin ice.

And the hermit master group just wants to scold their mothers and bastard things, and it will be too late if they don't withdraw......

At this time, the undercurrent in the moat surged, and countless water-splitting waves emerged......
