"Xiaogong, why do you bother, you should know that without the emperor's order, how dare this king give orders here."

Li Xiaogong decided that it was Li Shimin who had kidnapped Li Yuan at this time, how could he listen to his explanation, and shouted: "If you don't open the door again, don't blame me for ordering an attack!" ”

Zhen Mingku no longer paid attention to him, took a loudspeaker that had been prepared long ago from the side, and shouted to the army downstairs in the city: "You people have listened to this king, I, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, am here, the crown prince has no emperor's will, and he mobilized a large number of military horses to besiege the imperial city without authorization, which is already a capital crime, he is the crown prince, and the emperor will give him a punishment at most, no matter how serious it is, he will only be demoted to the common people, but you accomplices, but you are unforgivable, and the nine clans will be implicated!" Besieging the Imperial City is a capital offense, and it is a big mistake to retreat quickly! ”

The sound of the loudspeaker was loud and terrifying, how could the soldiers in the city have ever seen such high technology, plus Li Shimin, the king of Qin, has always been the image of a general in the Tang Army, and they never thought about it against the king of Qin.

Now as soon as King Qin spoke, there was a commotion.

However, Li Xiaogong's personal soldiers, one by one, are determined and are Li Xiaogong's diehards, who cares whether it is Li Shimin or Li Yuan on the city tower, as long as Li Xiaogong gives an order, they will also rush up with a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's subordinates were far less loyal than Li Xiaogong, and the commotion slowly began to spread.

As soon as Li Jiancheng saw that things were not good, the military appearance on his side was almost disintegrated by Zhen Mingku's words, and his heart sank, and he shouted: "Li Shimin fornicated with the concubines in the palace, and he was embarrassed. hijacking the emperor and trying to abolish the prince and stand on his own, if this person is not removed. National Security Day! Little ones, don't be deceived by the other party's gossip, capture the city gate for the prince, wait to rescue the emperor, add officials to the knighthood, and be rewarded! ”

Seeing this, his die-hard loyalists shouted: "Eradicate the traitors." Protect the Emperor! Eradicate the traitors and protect the emperor! ”

Li Jiancheng gave an order, and his diehards led their own team. rushed towards the city gate......

Li Xiaogong didn't want to enter the city in this way, but now he was forced to the crest of the waves, gritted his teeth, and ordered: "Brothers. Let's take the city gate first! ”

……

Li Jing on the city tower since Li Xiaogong appeared. The eyes never left the other party's body.

Hundreds of soldiers pushing the door car advanced all the way to the gate of the imperial city, and the generals on the city tower were still indifferent when they saw Zhen Mingku, as if they were waiting for something.

Cheng Yanjin walked up to him, "Brother Zhen, give the order, there's nothing to hesitate about." ”

"Wait." Zhen Ming said lightly, always standing still, and did not resist. Let the other side take the city gates.

Just when the gate of the imperial city rattled and was heavily breached by siege vehicles. The corners of Zhen Mingku's mouth rose slightly, and he glanced back at the direction of the Taiji Palace, where there was a square, dozens of meters higher than the imperial city, standing on it, you could see everything that happened in Chang'an City, plus the assistance of glasses, what happened at the foot of the imperial city, Li Yuan saw it in his eyes.

He could almost imagine Li Yuan's desperate and grief-stricken expression at this time.

He turned his head and smiled at Li Jing, who was already eager to try it beside him, "Brother Li, Li Xiaogong will be handed over to you." ”

Li Jing laughed, took out a bandage that had been prepared long ago from his arms, and neatly wrapped the handle of the knife with the palm of his hand.

He had been waiting for this day for three years.

Li Jing has suffered aggrieved over the years, Zhen knows the hardships of his life, although Li Xiaogong has talents, but unfortunately he thinks too highly of himself, is stingy, and cannot tolerate his subordinates to be more talented than him.

Li Jing made many military exploits in those years, and when he attacked Xiao Milling in the south, Li Xiaogong made a mistake in decision-making, if it were not for Li Jing's insistence on refusing to agree to his orders and sticking to the base camp, when Li Xiaogong attacked Jiangling, I am afraid that there would be no return.

After capturing Xiao Miao, Li Xiaogong took all the credit on himself, and did not mention Li Jing's merits, but he became more and more jealous of Li Jing in his heart.

repeatedly provoked right and wrong in front of Li Yuan, and had the ruthlessness of not giving up on his death, Li Yuan wanted to kill Li Jing several times, if it weren't for his outstanding military achievements, and there was no violation of law and discipline in ordinary times, Li Yuan would have killed him a long time ago.

Li Jing has endured his anger in the Tang Army for many years, just to wait for this day.

Looking at his thick back as he strode down the city tower, a trace of worry flashed in Wei Chi Jingde's eyes, and he walked to Zhen Mingku's side, "Brother Zhen, do you want to send hundreds of brothers to support General Li?" ”

Zhen Ming shook his head bitterly, "I think there should be no one in the Tang Army who can ask for his life, go with Brother Li, this is what I promised him." ”

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Li Jiancheng in the distance, he was directing the siege in the rear, leaving only a few hundred guards by his side.

Li Yuanji, who was sitting on a stretcher, did not move, and the 2,000 infantry were on the defensive.

When the city gate was breached, Li Jiancheng was so excited that he couldn't help himself, for fear that Li Xiaogong would rob him of the lead, so he gave an order and personally led the army and rushed into the city gate.

For a while, the sound of killing was everywhere, and the imperial city was completely breached in just half an hour.

……

Zhen Ming, who was on the tower of the city, watched the army pour into the imperial city like a tide, but he had some doubts in his heart, he found that Li Yuanji outside the city had never moved his troops and had no intention of entering the city.

"This Li Yuanji doesn't look like such a smart person, why does he not move."

At this time, a carrier pigeon flew up the city wall, and a herald took down the letterhead and handed it to Zhen Mingku.

Zhen Mingbitter glanced at the contents of the letterhead and laughed.

"This Li Yuanji has become smarter."

Wei Chi Jingde on the side asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhen Mingku handed him the letterhead, and Wei Chi Jingde took it and smiled.

"No wonder the Dark Guard can break into today's position, it seems that these sentinels trained by General Pei have made a great contribution, Li Yuanji's wishful thinking this time can be considered wrong, but he doesn't know that he thinks that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, but behind the sparrow, there is a hunter's shotgun waiting for him."

Zhen Ming took a hard look at this famous general who left a strong mark in history, and thought that future generations would mythologize him as a god and protect his homeland, and he sighed with emotion in his heart, even he, a person from the 21st century, couldn't imagine that things had developed to this day, and history was still running along the original trajectory, but the reasons for it had long been unrecognizable.

"Wei Chi Gang Master, do you want to make a great contribution so that you can get an official position in the future?"

Wei Chi Jingde laughed, "That's exactly what I mean." ”

"Li Yuanji will be handed over to you to dispose of, act according to the previous plan, before the sun goes down, take Li Yuanji's head and meet in the Taiji Palace."

As soon as Wei Chi Jingde grasped the grab pole, he walked down the city tower, rode his horse, and rushed to the west gate of the imperial city.

Zhen Mingku stood in the city tower and looked into the distance for a while, and heard a scream in the distance, the previously agreed rocket signal had been issued, and all the deployments were ready, waiting for the big fish of the Li family to enter the net.

"I'll give you a taste of the ruins of your family!"

He muttered to himself, and turned his head to the remaining Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao beside him, "Pillar, Shubao, it's time for us to appear." ”

"Wait a long time!"

……

Li Xiaogong was the first to lead the army into the imperial city, and the road was unimpeded, which made him feel a little strange.

Li Shimin is a soldier, what he is best at is defense, he thought that even if he could capture the city tower, his own casualties would be heavy, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong with this, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

The army passed through the long streets of the Imperial City, and there was no one around, not even the shadow of a palace guard was visible.

"The army advances slowly, beware of ambushes! Watch out for the archers in the high places, guarding the prince! ”

Dozens of personal soldiers surrounded Li Xiaogong in the middle to prevent cold arrows from shooting from the shadows.

There is still a distance of nearly a kilometer from Huangcheng Street to Taiji Palace.

In the middle is a wide open space the size of two football fields, and whenever there is a grand celebration, it is crowded with people singing and dancing to celebrate the festival.

When the army advanced here, Li Xiaogong saw a proudly independent figure, one man and one horse, standing in the middle of the square a few hundred meters away with a knife.

Alone, without any guards by his side.

"Li Jing, you rebellious thief, you can't be caught before you tie your hands!"

Li Jing stood with a knife, laughed, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring at Li Xiaogong on horseback, and raising his hand was a crossbow arrow, shooting directly at Li Xiaogong's head.

When-

The arrow was directly blocked by the iron shield of the guard in front of Li Xiaogong, but despite this, the remaining momentum of the arrow did not disappear, and the bounce opened and plunged directly into the head of a guard next to him, killing him on the spot.

Li Xiaogong was furious and shouted: "Whoever takes Li Jing's head, this king will reward a thousand taels of gold!" ”

At the sound of an order, hundreds of cavalry galloped towards Li Jing with a two-meter-long horse lance in their hands, and the sound of horses' hooves roared.

Li Jing suddenly pinched the horse's belly, shouted, and rushed up against these hundreds of horsemen......

Many people in the Tang army had seen Li Jing's courage when he charged into battle, and they knew that Li Jing was powerful, and now he had become his enemy.

Crossbow arrows shot out of Li Jing's hands like beads, more than a dozen crossbow arrows were not missing, and the dozen or so cavalrymen in the front were shot on their backs, and the front stumbled and the back, dozens of horses lost their front hooves, the formation did not form a formation, and the speed of advance also slowed down a lot.

Li Jing rode into the formation, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, waved a thick-backed broadsword, and split one of them in half on the spot.

The bloody and tragic picture made the surrounding war horses neigh, and their front hooves stood high, overturning dozens of them.

Li Jing shouted: "Li Xiaogong, don't you think that you have the highest martial arts in the Tang Army, don't let your subordinates come to die, you yourself will fight to the death!" ”

"With you being a reckless thief, you are also worthy of calling this king into battle!" (To be continued......)
