At this moment, Xue Rengui was covered in blood, his long hair was scattered, like a killing god, terrifying, Lunzhu Rinzeng saw him rushing towards him, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly turned his horse and retreated, and shouted at the same time: "Quick, protect Ben Shuai!" Hearing this, all the guards drove forward one after another, blocking Xue Rengui's way.

"Look for death!" Xue Rengui roared, the flying horse stepped forward, Fang Tian drew a halberd, and directly pierced a guard company with a shield, picked it on the top of the halberd, and smashed it violently into the guards crowd, the three guards were smashed to the back of the horse, and Xue Rengui came more than once, the halberd waved, and killed three people in an instant, and all the enemies encountered fell off the horse, in front of him, there was no one to join the general.

Xue Rengui's powerful force and momentum were shocking, frightened the guards to retreat, Lunzhu Rinzeng had already ridden his horse to the north, intending to escape, Xue Rengui was blocked by several guards for a while, when he turned his head to look, he found that Lunzhu Rinzeng had fled to more than eighty zhang away, Xue Rengui hurriedly took off the iron-backed bow, bent the bow and arrows, and aimed at Lunzhu Rinzeng.

"Go!" Xue Rengui screamed, only to hear a "buzz" bowstring sound, Lunzhu Renzeng screamed and fell off his horse, fell to the ground and wailed, and an arrow made of steel pierced his right shoulder, making him unable to move.

Seeing this, all the guards came to the rescue, but the Xuanjia army had already rushed up and scattered it, Xue Rengui grabbed the horse's belly, and rode forward, Fang Tian drew the halberd until Lunzhu Renzeng, Lunzhu Renzeng watched Xue Rengui's long halberd come and let out a desperate scream.

With a muffled sound, Xue Rengui's Fang Tian painting pierced Lunzhu Renzeng's chest, and the hot blood gushed out, steaming hot in the cold weather, Lunzhu Renzeng's eyes widened, his eyes were full of unwillingness and despair, his mouth opened and closed several times, and finally he couldn't make a sound, his head slowly drooped, and he died.

"The enemy chief is ambushed!" Xue Rengui roared loudly, and at the same time, with a spear, he held Lunzhu Rinzeng's body high in the air, and the Xuanjia army immediately let out thunderous cheers when they saw this, wielding a Mo knife to slaughter the Tubo army even more frantically.

Li Yuanzhong, who was on the Xuanwu Gate, looked at the battle outside the city and shouted excitedly: "Quick! Open the city gate and help General Xue! Destroy the enemy! ”

The Xuanwu Gate slowly opened, rushing out of more than 3,000 Jin Wuwei, the Tubo army, which was already at a disadvantage, had no heart to fight again, and fled in all directions, Jin Wuwei and the Xuanjia army rode horses to attack everywhere, killing all these Tubo troops, leaving no room for survival.

Finally, the 10,000 Tibetan army outside the Xuanwu Gate was wiped out, and at this time, a horse suddenly galloped over, and held up a military order from afar and shouted: "The military order has arrived!" ”

When he got closer, the herald turned over and dismounted, Xue Rengui greeted him, took Li Hao's warrant, and saw that it was written: "Order Xue Rengui to lead the army into the Taiji Palace, go out from the Chengtian Gate, and take the Vermilion Bird Gate!" ”

Xue Rengui was shocked when he heard this, and then he was ecstatic, Li Hao was planning to join forces inside and outside, and take down the Tubo army, but he immediately frowned, from Chengtianmen to Vermilion Bird Gate, nearly four miles, and the Tubo army is now in the imperial city, they want to pass through the imperial city, to open the Vermilion Bird Gate, they will inevitably be frantically obstructed by the Tubo army, its resistance is not small, this is a difficult task, he doesn't understand, why Li Hao is so anxious, now the Tubo army is trapped in the imperial city, like a turtle in an urn, they can wait another day or two, When Li Ji's 50,000 army arrives, and then attack, the Tubo army can be easily taken.

At this time, the herald said: "General Xue, the marshal asked his subordinates to tell you that in half an hour, Li Guocheng will come with 5,000 troops to help you take the Suzaku Gate together, and the marshal also said that the current battle situation is urgent, please General Xue act according to the military order as soon as possible." ”

Li Yuanzhong also said on the side: "General Xue, without further ado, you quickly lead the troops into the Taiji Palace, the Tubo army is attacking the Taiji Palace, and now the three city walls only have 8,000 people, and it seems that they can't last long." ”

Xue Rengui nodded, no wonder Li Hao was so anxious, the three city walls south of Taiji Palace now only had more than 8,000 horses, which could be said to be precarious, so he immediately entered the Xuanwu Gate with an army of 5,000.

Ge Erdonzan is now blocked by Li Hao in the imperial city, dilemma, since he has become a turtle in the urn, he decided to burn the jade, and ordered a crazy attack on the Taiji Palace, now the Taiji Palace is only less than 10,000 Tang troops are hard to defend, it is really precarious, although Li Hao is outside the imperial city, but he can not hinder Ge Dongzan's determination to take the Taiji Palace.

When Xue Rengui heard this, he hurriedly took the Xuanjia Army into Daming Palace through Xuanwu Gate, and then came to Taiji Palace from Daming Palace.

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he learned that Xue Rengui was coming from Xuanwumen with his troops, and he actually came to meet Xue Rengui in person. ”

"General Xue, don't be polite!" Li Shimin was in a good mood, feeling that his condition had lightened a little, and said with a smile, "It's really time for General Xue to come." ”

Xue Rengui bowed his head and said: "Wechen is ashamed, Wechen is too late to save him, which frightened the emperor." ”

"Say something." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "General Xue came just in time, if it weren't for the enemy's close eyes, I would definitely have a drink with General Xue!" ”

Xue Rengui arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, it's not too late to drink wine and wait to repel the Tubo barbarians, right now the Tubo army is attacking Taiji Palace, the war is urgent, Weichen has a military order in his body, he doesn't dare to delay any longer, he will go to the enemy immediately, I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins!" ”

"Well, the military order is like a mountain, you go first." Li Shimin waved his hand, "This group of barbarians like my Chang'an so much, General Xue, you just let them stay in Chang'an forever!" ”

"Yes!" Xue Rengui shouted the order and led the five thousand Xuanjia troops to rush to Chengtianmen.

Looking at the army led by Xue Rengui going away, Li Shimin squinted his eyes and muttered: "This army is so powerful that even I feel a chill down my spine when I see it, which way is this?" ”

Li Yuanzhong, who was on the side, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is the Qinwang people brought by Xue Rengui from Qiongnan, it is said that Li Hao, the king of Qiongnan, improved the training method and invested heavily to build the Modao Iron Shield......

Li Shimin's heart sank when he heard this, and he frowned: "You mean that Li Hao privately trains the army?" ”

At this sensitive time, when Li Shimin heard such news, he immediately felt that his heart sank to the bottom, and Li Yuanzhong hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, General Xue said that these armies were trained by the imperial court, and the king of Qiongnan just presented a new method of training the army to the governor Cui Peng and General Xue, as for donating money to build the Modao iron shield, it was because it was necessary to deal with the natives of Qiongnan at that time, and the shortage of weapons in the states and counties of Qiongnan, and the king of Qiongnan was not selfish. ”

"I hope so." Li Shimin sighed lightly, still frowning, and after a while, he said slowly, "Spread my will, seal the Xuanwu Gate, and don't let people in again." ”

Li Yuanzhong was stunned when he heard this, he wanted to tell Li Shimin that Li Hao still had 5,000 troops ready to pass through the Xuanwu Gate, but he didn't dare to disobey the holy order, so he could only clench his fists and bow his head: "Obey the order." ”

Li Hao outside the imperial city, set up a temporary tooth tent two miles outside the Suzaku Gate, at this moment the army is attacking the city, constantly shooting arrows at the city wall, he brought 40,000 cavalry, the cavalry siege ability is not very strong, he also knows that only with such a few people, it is impossible to break the imperial city, after all, there are more than 60,000 Tibetan troops in the imperial city.

He has his own plan in his heart, he is only responsible for containing the strength of the Tubo army outside the city, so that Lu Dongzan can not attack the Taiji Palace with all his strength, and the Xuanjia Army is the key to his victory, he has sent Li Guocheng to lead the five thousand Xuanjia Army around the Xuanwu Gate, as long as Li Guocheng's five thousand Xuanjia Army and Xue Rengui's five thousand Xuanjia Army enter the Taiji Palace, enter the Imperial City from the Chengtian Gate, the power of the 10,000 Xuanjia Army is extraordinary, and it will definitely be able to easily take the Vermilion Bird Gate, as long as the Vermilion Bird Gate is opened, it will be Lu Dongzan's death.

Catapults and bed crossbows are only fired every few moments, because there are not many arrows left, and they must be left to break the city at the last critical moment, what he has to do now is to contain the 40,000 Tubo army on the city wall, and only 20,000 troops will attack the Taiji Palace.

The Tubo army is ramming Chengtianmen with a rushing car, Chengtianmen is tall and heavy, and it is not so easy to crash open, suddenly! With a creak, the Chengtian Gate opened, not colliding, but by the Chengtian Gate itself.

The Tibetan army just wanted to cheer, but the next second they were stunned, because after the Chengtian Gate was opened, they saw that the city gate was densely covered with iron shields, like an iron wall with cold light.

"Kill!" Xue Rengui's roar came, the sound of hooves thundered, and the five thousand Xuanjia troops rushed out of the Chengtian Gate like a frenzy, rushing the Tubo army in front of the city gate.

As soon as the Xuanjia army entered the imperial city, it was like destroying the withering and decaying, and all the Xuanjia troops in the imperial city were drowned, and after all the Xuanjia troops rushed out of the Chengtian Gate, the Chengtian Gate slowly closed.

Chengtianmen is four miles away from Suzaku Gate, in the middle is a straight and wide straight road, nearly ten zhang wide, both sides are full of tall walls and palaces, there is no fork in the road, some people call this avenue "Tongtian Road", this name is very apt, after all, it is a straight road to Chengtianmen, or rather, through this road, you can see the emperor, the emperor is not the sky.

Xue Rengui led 5,000 Xuanjia troops to rush forward along the Tongtian Road, and immediately encountered a large number of Tubo troops to block them.

"Spear!" Xue Rengui shouted, only to see all the Xuanjia army riding horses to change the formation, while changing the formation, everyone raised the iron shield, blocking the arrow rain of the Tubo army, soon, their formation has been transformed, shaped like a sharp spear, straight to the front of the Tubo army, only one impact, thousands of the Tubo army was rushed to the back of the horse, some died under the horse's hooves, some people were cut by the sharp Mo knife cut their necks and chests, when the Xuanjia army passed, the four thousand Tubo army left in the same place only nearly 100 people are still standing, Others were either corpses or fell to the ground struggling and screaming, blood pooling into streams that stained the stone pavements of the Imperial City a crimson color.
