Chapter 612: The Twin Spear Generals are as old as dead wood after all

Li Shimin was still sitting on the jade lion in the night, but his gaze on the city wall became more and more confused, and as time passed, the confusion in his eyes was gradually replaced by anger. Because of his anger, his hand holding the horsewhip became harder and harder, and the green tendons on the back of his hand stood out one by one, looking particularly hideous. His eyes became sharp, perhaps because of anger, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, but the smile was as cold as the ice on the Tianshan Mountain that would not melt for thousands of years.

Someone on the wall seemed to notice the change in his eyes, and his face turned painful. Naturally, she couldn't see Li Shimin's expression from such a distance, but she seemed to be able to clearly feel Li Shimin's mood. But she still didn't move, maybe because the wind was too cold, so her shoulders trembled slightly.

Li Shimin's gaze gradually gave up staring at a certain place on the city wall, and instead focused on Dugu Huaien.

Dugu Huaien, who was carrying the thirty elite guards around Li Shimin, held a horizontal knife in his mouth, and quickly climbed up the cloud ladder to the Xuanwu Gate. At this time, there were already more than thirty rebels who had climbed the city wall, and they formed a circle, shoulder to shoulder, guarding the two ladders behind them.

It was not easy for so many people to stand on the city wall in such a small area, and if they retreated, then all the comrades who had not fought before would die in vain. And every one of the rebel soldiers knows that their future lives are decided today, and if they are defeated, they will all fall into hell and never recover. By this time, they had already been ruthless, and one by one, like wild wolves with their fangs bared, they cut down the defenders who rushed to the ground one after another.

Dugu Huaien climbed the city wall, took off the horizontal knife in his mouth and glanced at it, and immediately saw a court general on the left side with dozens of elite armor soldiers rushing towards this side. Dugu Huaien didn't know that person, but from the killing intent and fierce aura of that person, he knew that this person was not simple, and only people who had experienced a hundred battles and did not die had that kind of murderous aura that was so strong that it could not be dissolved.

"King Qin is watching us!"

Dugu Huaien shouted: "If King Qin wins, you and I are both meritorious ministers, and if King Qin is defeated, you and I will die without a place to be buried." Brothers, fight for the old lady and grandpa in the family! Hold here, and the brothers in the back will be able to come up with more people, as long as they take the Xuanwu Gate, there is Taiji Palace behind them! ”

He didn't need to say the rest of the words to understand, everyone on the city wall knew what it meant to attack the Taiji Palace.

In order to contain the troops arranged by the Taiji Palace, and for the fact that the person sitting on the dragon chair in the Taiji Palace would not leave the palace, Li Shimin divided more than half of the men and horses to go around to the south to attack the imperial city. Seeking victory in defeat, he knows what to do.

The Xuanwumen area is too narrow, and tens of thousands of troops can't line up at all. Instead of exhausting all the troops here, it is better to fight to break through the imperial city. If the imperial city is broken and follows the Chengtian Gate, it will directly enter the Taiji Palace, so that the defenders in the Taiji Palace will have to divide their troops to resist.

Although such an arrangement was made, Li Shimin knew that his father would never escape. If I had sat in that seat, I would never have escaped.

Because in Li Shimin's view, the dignity of all people in this world together is not as good as the dignity of the emperor alone. Although he didn't grow up next to Li Yuan, he felt that he was the one who knew his father best. Among Li Yuan's children, he was sure that he and Li Yuan were the most similar. Because of the similarity, he knew how Li Yuan planned it.

He watched Dugu Huaien climb the city wall, and his face softened a little.

Qu Tutong commanded the archers and continued to respond to the comrades who climbed the city wall, but the defenders on the Xuanwu Gate also had no shortage of archers, and in the rain of arrows, the soldiers on both sides died one by one. The area on the city wall was even narrower, so the corpses of soldiers who had died in battle were pushed down as throwing stones before they could be carried down. At this moment, don't say that human life is worthless, but the corpses are as cheap as weeds.

Seeing that Yin Kaishan, who had a chance to break through the defense, led his troops to storm the other side and share the pressure for Dugu Huaien.

Everyone knows that they must fight for their rights, not for fame and fortune, just to live.

At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly found several people standing on the side of his team, led by an old man wearing a four-grade civil official uniform, and beside him stood a few guards who were trembling and frightened. The men were being guarded by a dozen rebel soldiers, and their weapons had been seized. But I don't know why, but the old man is not afraid at all.

"Yu Wenkai?"

Li Shimin frowned slightly, he knew that Yu Wenkai was supervising the construction of Yong'an Palace, this person's architectural ability was unparalleled in the world, and when Li Yuan wanted to build a new palace, he had to say that it was the emperor's good luck when he arrived in Chang'an.

"Bring those guys here."

Li Shimin pointed at Yu Wenkai and said.

Several guards hurriedly went over and brought Yu Wenkai and several guards who were already frightened.

"I've seen King Qin."

Yu Wenkai didn't seem to be scared at all, and after a salute, he stood up straight. Li Shimin looked at this old man who looked very depressed today, smiled and asked, "You are a master who supervises the construction of Yong'an Palace, why don't you go to supervise the work, what are you doing here?" Do you also want to go into battle and kill people to gain fame? ”

Yu Wenkai shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I just didn't have time to run." ”

Li Shimin was still in the mood to laugh, thinking that this old man was an interesting and wonderful person, and when he saw the things carried by Yu Wenkai's subordinates, he asked, "What is that?" ”

Scroll

"What scroll?"

Li Shimin's gaze returned to Dugu Huaien's side, and he just asked casually.

Yu Wenkai leaned over and picked up the largest scroll, which was three meters long, and the two of them pulled it and presented it in front of Li Shimin. Li Shimin subconsciously glanced at it, but his eyes that didn't care were immediately attracted.

"What is this?"

Li Shimin asked in shock.

"This is the complete map of the palace that I took several months to draw, and it was supposed to be presented to His Majesty for the purpose."

Looking at the palace that was still painted on paper and still could not hide its magnificent atmosphere, Li Shimin asked with feeling: "This is Yong'an Palace?" ”

Yu Wenkai nodded and said, "This is not the Yong'an Palace that His Majesty wants to build, but my ideal Yong'an Palace." ”

Li Shimin snorted, and said thoughtfully: "The word Yong'an is not worthy of this magnificent palace, the Tang Dynasty is powerful in all directions, and the world is bright, the word Yong'an is too stingy, and it should be changed." ”

"It's a pity ......"

Yu Wenkai sighed: "Your Majesty is about to be destroyed by the war before you have time to see it, I am exhausted in order to draw this map, I am afraid that I will not be able to draw another copy, no matter what the palace is, it is impossible to build it again." ”

"It's a treasure, and Lone won't let it be ruined."

After pondering for a while, Li Shimin suddenly leaned down and said to Yu Wenkai in a very low voice: "The Lonely Society sent someone to protect these scrolls, if it is...... Lonely defeated, when you presented this scroll to your father, remember to advise that the name of Yong'an Palace is really not good, and it cannot show the majesty of my Tang Dynasty...... I think that the three words of Daming Palace are more suitable for it! ”

Yu Wenkai was stunned, and muttered thoughtfully: "Daming Palace!" ”

……

……

Dugu Huaien unloaded half of the shoulders of a defender with a knife, raised his foot and kicked the corpse away and wiped a handful of blood on his face, he looked back at the comrades behind him who were struggling to climb the city, and the corners of his mouth picked up and roared: "Just three hundred elite soldiers come up, we can take this city gate!" His Royal Highness the King of Qin said that all the people who ascended the city today were promoted to farewell generals and sealed the county men! ”

"Kill it!"

I don't know who shouted, and the rebels frantically pushed forward like chicken blood. Although the soldiers defending the city were far more numerous than the rebels who landed in the city, they were pressed back again and again.

"Rubbish!"

Li Jiancheng scolded angrily, seeing that Ding Yanping and dozens of elite armor soldiers of the East Palace couldn't kill those rebels, the chill in his eyes became stronger and stronger: "Xia Fengchun, you go and punish that rebel general!" ”

"Whoa!"

Xia Fengchun, who was guarding Li Jiancheng's side, responded, he made good use of a horse chopping knife more than two meters long, for fear that he would accidentally injure the prince and had not used it before, at this time, he got the military order and immediately took the horse chopping knife from his own soldiers, and did not greet others and strode towards Dugu Huaien.

Ding Yanping was originally a general of the Sui Dynasty, good at using two guns, and had repeatedly made military exploits in the war of the Great Sui Dynasty to unify the world. Luo Yi joined the army at the beginning of his youth and was under his command, and was later valued by Yang Su and brought to Saibei to kill the enemy. Luo Yi's courage when he was young was not Ding Yanping's opponent, which shows how strong this person's martial arts are. Although he looked as burly and tall as a forty-year-old man, he was already a septuagenarian, and he lacked strength to fight for a long time.

He led dozens of elites of the East Palace to rush and kill for a while, and his two spears stabbed thirteen people to death like a poisonous dragon, but his physical strength was not exhausted after all, and he was no longer brave when he was young, and he did not push back the rebels even several times.

Just as he was about to take a breath with his two guns propped up, the insane general of the rebels rushed straight towards him with a man. While killing the rebel general, he roared: "The old thief on the other side is here and die!" ”

Although Ding Yanping is old, how can he stand such an insult? He roared angrily and shot Dugu Huaien with two guns.

The two men approached each other quickly, and the people who stood in front of both of them were thrown to the ground. After each committed suicide and finally faced each other, Ding Yanping was annoyed by Dugu Huaien's old thief, and poked Dugu Huaien's throat with a shot, Dugu Huaien waved the gun away, and just about to get closer, he saw that the other one had reached his heart.

Dugu Huaien's face changed greatly, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He sneered, his body slammed down, and the tip of the gun was forced to hit his shoulder. With a pop, the iron spear pierced his shoulder and pierced him, but Dugu Huaien laughed out loud instead, grabbed the barrel of the gun with his left hand, and slashed at Ding Yanping's throat.

Ding Yanping didn't expect that this rebel general was really crazy like a beast and didn't dodge, and in an instant of shock in his heart, Dugu Huaien's horizontal knife swept across his throat, and then, a red line appeared on his neck. A moment later, the red thread burst open, and blood spurted out like a waterfall.

The poor veteran Ding Yanping I's prestige was finally killed by Dugu Huaien, and he died so aggrieved.

Before he died, Ding Yanping had no panic or fear in his mind, just regret...... Twenty years ago, the old man alone could kill ten of you!

But how can life go back 20 years? How can dead wood have spring again?
