Lars took over the defense of the Taiping Gate from Wang Buyi. He first asked the soldiers guarding the city under Wang Buyi's command to rest, removed Wang Buyi's soldiers, and then let his 1,000 foreign soldiers control the defense of Taipingmen. Although there are still some generals and soldiers who defend the city have not left, and are still patrolling the city tower, it is insignificant.

Wang Buyi went to rest, while Lars patrolled back and forth.

About half an hour later, a flickering fire suddenly erupted on the official road outside the city. At first, the light was not obvious, only a dozen or so torches could be seen, and when the distance was closer, more than 30 soldiers could already be seen running outside the city. The fire was shining, and when the general in charge of defense on the city tower found out, he said loudly: "Look, look, there are people from outside the city." ”

Lars also found out, the corners of his mouth turned up, his eyes were slightly excited, and he ordered: "All on alert!" ”

The foreign soldiers stationed there did not relax, and all entered a state of alert.

It didn't take long for more than 30 people to come on horseback, and all of them arrived at the bottom of the tower. With the light of the fire on the tower, and the torches shining below, Lars could already see the people below. Lars looked back at some of the soldiers under Wang Buyi's command on the city tower, and said loudly: "The person below is Prime Minister Xu Yuan, don't let go of arrows, don't attack." ”

Xu Yuan was standing downstairs, and he also cooperated and shouted: "This official is Prime Minister Xu Yuan, open the city gate immediately." ”

The generals left behind by Wang Buyi saw that the person downstairs in the city was Xu Yuan, confirmed Xu Yuan's identity, and prepared to open the door. Lars was about to go downstairs to open the city gates, but a loud shout came from behind him: "Wait! ”

A deep roar came, but it was Wang Buyi who came.

Wang Buyi didn't rest for long, and he was worried about the situation in Taipingmen, so he put on his clothes and got up to patrol. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out, he met Xu Yuan and fled back with some soldiers. Wang Buyi stretched out his head and looked at it, and saw that it was indeed Xu Yuan who came back, so he shouted again: "Open the city gate!" ”

Lars said, "I'll go downstairs and keep the situation up!"

Immediately, Lars turned and left, and went down the tower.

He took his soldiers to control the city gate openly, and when the city gate opened, Xu Yuan immediately rushed in with his soldiers. Xu Yuan took the lead, and after entering the city, he shouted: "Quick, quick, close the city gate, Li Zhen's army is still behind!" As Xu Yuan spoke, he could already see a large army galloping outside the city.

Lars said: "Prime Minister Xu, look outside the city......"

He stretched out his hand and pointed outside the city gate, a look of surprise on his face. When Xu Yuan heard this, he didn't doubt it, and his eyes immediately looked outside the city, and the eyes of the soldiers who followed Xu Yuan also looked back in unison, wanting to see the situation outside the city. It's just that when Xu Yuan and the soldiers under his command turned around, a bright light crossed by.

"Poof!"

The knife light slashed, and Xu Yuan's head and neck moved.

Blood splattered out, and Xu Yuan was killed by Lars for no apparent reason. Similarly, the soldiers under the command of Lars made an instant move, and a steel knife saw that it directly killed the soldiers brought back by Xu Yuan, and killed all the soldiers brought back by Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan didn't understand what was going on until he died, and the soldiers who followed Xu Yuan were also confused.

and he who is not clear, he is dead.

Xu Yuan was killed, and the soldiers on the city tower have not yet found out. Because most of the soldiers guarding the castle tower were soldiers under Lars. Soon, Li Zhen's army could already be clearly seen, and Wang Buyi was even more nervous.

Wang Buyi was anxious and ordered the city gates to be closed.

"Poof!!"

When Wang Buyi ran back and forth among the soldiers to give orders, he suddenly felt a pain in his waist. He looked down, but a foreign soldier poked out a knife, which impartially poked into Wang Buyi's back, pierced Wang Buyi's chest, and then pulled it out violently. The speed of this knife was extremely fast, and Wang Buyi didn't even make a sound, and fell directly to the ground.

At the same time, the foreign soldiers took action and quickly killed the generals and soldiers under Wang Buyi's command. The soldiers were killed, not even able to resist. The king banner changed on the city tower, and Lars's soldiers easily controlled the Taiping Gate, and Lars was waiting for Li Zhen's army to arrive at the city gate.

After a short time, Li Zhen entered the city with a large army.

Lars bowed respectfully: "Lars has seen Lord Admiral!" ”

Li Zhen smiled, waved his hand and said, "You are a hero, you don't need to be polite." Pass the order down and let your soldiers guard the Taiping Gate. You lead the way for us, arrest Hong Xiuquan first, and then think about sweeping up the Taiping army.

"Yes!"

Lars respectfully responded and ordered the soldiers to control the Taiping Gate before heading to the Heavenly King's Mansion.

……

Heavenly King's Mansion, in the main hall.

The soldiers who reported the news were waiting in the main hall, but Hong Xiuquan was late. When the soldiers saw Hong Xiuquan coming, they eagerly reported: "Heavenly King, Lars is Li Zhen's man, he took control of the Taiping Gate with his soldiers, and has welcomed Li Zhen's army into the city. Wang Buyi had been killed, and Li Zhen led the army straight to the Heavenly King's Mansion and asked the Heavenly King to leave quickly. ”

"Boom !!"

Hong Xiuquan heard the news and was struck by lightning.

He stood on top of the hall in a daze, not knowing what to do. In particular, Lars is an important figure that Hong Xiuquan relies on, and the soldiers led by Lars are faintly Hong Xiuquan's hole cards, and Hong Xiuquan has spent a lot of effort. Now, Hong Xiuquan's most trusted army betrayed him and opened the city gate to welcome Li Zhen, which made Hong Xiuquan feel uncomfortable, and even felt like he was pricked by a needle.

Hong Xiuquan suddenly said: "Impossible, it is impossible for Lars to betray the widow." ”

The soldier was disdainful, but continued to explain: "It has happened, and Lars has indeed betrayed. Li Zhen led the soldiers towards the Heavenly King's Mansion to kill, the momentum was violent, it was too late to mobilize soldiers to resist, so leave quickly. ”

"Leave?"

Hong Xiuquan's voice suddenly rose high, and he said, "Where are you leaving?" Where to go? He replied to himself, and said aloud: "Lars, a traitor, he destroys everything in this king, and this king will kill him and get rid of this rebellion." Hong Xiuquan felt uncomfortable, so he wanted to fight Li Zhen.

Kill Li Zhen and get rid of Lars.

The soldier shook his head lightly and said, "Heavenly King, how do we get rid of Lars?" You gave the power of the army to Lars, and now the army is controlled by Lars, and all the soldiers were ordered by Lars to stay in the barracks. Even if the Heavenly King wants to dispatch soldiers, it can't be done in a short time, and Li Zhen has already killed the army with a large army, so we must leave quickly. ”

Hong Xiuquan said in a deep voice: "There is also a guard of 3,000 people in this king's mansion, and this guard team is formed according to the model of foreign soldiers. All the soldiers were well-armed, and all of them were brave soldiers. Now, it's time to use them. This time, let them face Li Zhen and show their strength. ”

Hong Xiuquan's last hole card was finally revealed.

When the soldier heard this, he pondered for a moment in his heart, and said loudly: "Heavenly King, the villain feels that it is very difficult and unrealistic to rely on three thousand guards to block the army of nearly 10,000 under Li Zhen. After all, the soldiers under Li Zhen's command are all elite, and they are quite numerous, and the equipment is also very strong, so it is very difficult to block them. ”

"Report!!"

Suddenly, another soldier rushed in. The soldier said loudly: "Heavenly King, Li Zhen's army has surrounded the Heavenly King's Mansion and is now unable to rush out. ”

Hong Xiuquan chuckled in his heart, this Li Zhen's speed is too fast!

ps: The fifth watch, it's finally out, stay up late!
