Chapter 225: The Battle of Taiji Palace
Seeing the fireworks in the sky, Li Tai immediately threw the cane in his hand outward, and said loudly: "The forbidden army of the King of Wei obeyed the order and followed the king to quell the rebellion." ”
With Li Tai's shout, everyone threw their sticks on the ground. Then he quickly approached Li Tai's side.
Li Tai pointed his feet in the direction of Li Shimin with a little stirrup, and shouted to Li Shimin: "Father, they did it." Please allow your retainers to replace the brothers of the Wei king's forbidden army with swords. ”
No one is allowed to carry weapons into the palace, otherwise they will be punished for treason. So Li Tai led the forbidden army of King Wei to perform polo for Li Shimin. Naturally, he didn't dare to bring weapons into the Taiji Palace.
"Blade, I've prepared it for you." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he waved his hand to the eunuch beside him.
Soon a few guards came over with several large wooden boxes. After opening the wooden box, Luo Song's Five Tiger Soul Breaking Spear and Luo Tong's Five Hook Divine Flying Silver Spear were impressively placed inside.
In short, everyone's weapons were in the box, and everyone quickly took them out without stopping. Then he urged the horse to go in the direction of the palace gate.
But Li Tai did not go to the palace gate together, but said to Li Shimin: "Father, the things sent to you by the sons can be placed properly." ”
"According to your explanation, I have put those wooden boxes on the way to here." Li Shimin nodded to Li Tai and said.
The conversation between Li Shimin and Li Tai made all the imperial concubines and princes, including the eldest grandson Wuji, puzzled. They don't know why there was such a sudden change.
Good polo was watching wonderfully, and suddenly I picked up a knife and a gun. And it looks like a great enemy, can anyone really dare to trespass into the palace.
"Father, what the hell is going on. Why is the royal brother so nervous? Li Chengqian took two steps forward and saluted Li Shimin and asked.
"Someone is going to take the opportunity of Li Tai's polo performance tonight to force the palace." Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Li Chengqian was also surprised. Hurriedly shouted to the guards: "Someone intends to do evil to the emperor, hurry up and escort him." ”
At the same time, the sound of a fight was already heard in the direction of the palace gate. Li Tai said to Li Chengqian: "Brother Huang, after you stay here to protect your father and mother, I'll go to the front to have a look." ”
"Brother Huang, be more careful, don't get hurt." Li Chengqian said to Li Tai with a concerned expression.
Li Tai nodded to Li Chengqian, and then walked in the direction of the palace gate. When Li Tai came to the palace gate, he saw that he had already killed in front of him.
Li Tai crossed the gentian bright silver spear in his hand and killed it directly. Relying on the soft hedgehog armor to protect his body, Li Tai didn't care about the matter and just rushed to kill.
For a while, no one could stop its edge, which made the hearts of the eldest grandson Anye and Liu Deyu in the distance tense. They didn't expect that the generals brought by Li Tai were all enemies.
So the two men began to urge their soldiers to attack quickly, lest the time be dragged on to their detriment.
Although Li Tai and the others were all brave, they still seemed too small in the face of thousands of forbidden troops. Gradually, they began to be at a disadvantage.
"All the forbidden troops of the King of Wei obeyed the order, withdrew to his father's side with the king, and swore to protect his father's safety." Li Tai shouted as he led the people and began to retreat backwards.
The eldest grandson Anye would not let go of this opportunity, so he ordered the forbidden army to start a frantic pursuit. And ordered the archers to start firing arrows. It is bound to kill Li Tai and others here.
Li Tai and the others slowly withdrew backwards while dialing the carving feather. From time to time, the forbidden army of King Wei was shot and fell from the horse.
This time he entered the palace with Li Tai to perform, not only Luo Song and several other generals of the Wei Dynasty's forbidden army. Forty or fifty others also entered the palace as auxiliary workers.
Seeing that one of his brothers had been hit by an arrow, the others quickly went to the rescue. In short, none of the forbidden armies were left behind.
Slowly, Li Tai led people to retreat near the venue of the polo match. There is a large rockery here, and on the opposite side of the rockery is an artificial lake.
"There is a polo field in front, as long as the brothers work harder, they can capture the dog emperor Li Shimin. When the time comes, all of you will be the founding heroes. Liu Deyu hissed and shouted.
A large number of forbidden troops quickly chased after Li Tai and others, but at this time, thousands of arrows suddenly shot from the rockery.
There were nearly 500 or so casualties in this round alone, and this has not stopped but is just the beginning. For from the lake tens of thousands of crossbow arrows were fired.
At this time, Cheng Yanjin led the right Wuwei and appeared by Li Shimin's side. The one who protected Li Shimin was safe and secure, even if Li Tai and the others couldn't stop it, Liu Deyu and them wouldn't want to hurt Li Shimin in the slightest.
"Your Majesty, if Lao Cheng and I are not mistaken, this should be a thousand arrows piercing the heart." Cheng Yanjin said excitedly to Li Shimin.
"I didn't expect Brother Cheng Wang to remember this ten thousand arrows piercing his heart. I thought you had forgotten about him. Li Shimin said to Cheng Yanjin with a smile.
"Back then, because of my recklessness, all the arrows in Wagangzhai were destroyed. I don't know how many times my old Cheng has been complained about by my brothers. And how can they forget him? Cheng Yanjin said with a sigh.
Looking at the forbidden troops he brought, more than half of them have died under the crossbow arrows. The eldest grandson Anye and Liu Deyu were already panicking.
At this time, they no longer dared to be delusional and went to hold Li Shimin hostage, and now all they wanted was to escape from Taiji Palace as soon as possible. lest you die here.
But just as they wanted to retreat, they found that another army was coming behind them. It was Wei Chigong who led the troops.
Seeing Yu Chigong, the two of them were so frightened that they were not possessed by their souls. At the same time, they also know that their end has come.
A long-planned and powerful palace forcing operation came to an end. The ending was a complete victory for Li Shimin.
Not long after, the eldest grandson Anye and Liu Deyu were brought to Li Shimin. The two of them were already frightened at this time, and knelt in front of Li Shimin tremblingly.
"I have always treated you well, but I didn't expect you to do such a rebellious thing. It really hurts my heart. Li Shimin looked at the two and said with a look of regret.
At this time, the two did not beg for mercy like Li Shimin, because they knew that they had committed the great crime of exterminating the Nine Clans. No matter what you say at this point, it won't help.
"Come on, take them down. After waiting to kill Li Xiaochang, they will be cut and beheaded together. Li Shimin waved his hand and said.
Seeing that the two of them were pressed down, Li Shimin opened his mouth and said: "Order Qin Qiong to lead the left military guard, Wei Chi Gong to lead the right military guard, Cheng Yanjin to lead the right military guard, and the Japanese soldiers will send Lizhou Li." and ordered the governors of the surrounding state capitals to send troops to attack Li Xiaochang. ”
