Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3586 Battle of Miyagi
This eastward expedition to Koguryo is regarded as a feast of meritorious deeds by the whole country, and it is very likely to be the last large-scale war the empire will wage in the next few decades. Preserve the power and interests of the family, and maybe even go further.However, if they were left behind in this battle, they would have no chance to make up for it, and the clan would therefore be at a disadvantage, and it would be as difficult to turn around as possible.

Under this background, it can be said that they are actively participating. They will send the most outstanding children and the most elite forces in the family. They will try their best to sharpen their heads and drill into the army of the Eastern Expedition. They even join forces to squeeze out Fang Jun's family. It's because the naval forces are weak, and I'm afraid they won't even be left with the task of transporting grain and ordnance by sea...

The gatekeepers' greed for interests is not only endless, but also has no bottom line.

It is precisely because of this that almost all the clans in the world have their own eyes and ears in the Eastern Expedition army, and can see the situation in the army at any time.However, since His Majesty Li Er fell from a horse and injured him, and now that the army has returned to the Tang Dynasty, which is more than a thousand miles away from Guanzhong, there has been no news about the decision of His Majesty Li Er or the army.

Able to support the family business in the turbulent times, until now the prosperous times are beginning to show, the country is strong, and no clan is a fool.It is naturally best to have news, but sometimes there is no news, but it is another kind of news...

There is a strange atmosphere everywhere in the army, and almost every link is unusual, which is inevitably thought-provoking.

Thinking of the serious injury of His Majesty Li Er, the various parties in the army were constrained by disputes, and he had not returned to Chang'an for two months... An answer that could not bear to speak, was almost ready to come out.

Every ups and downs in the political situation and changes in the situation mean that some clan forces will rise up, and some clan forces will fall into the abyss.

Sitting still means not thinking about progress...

In the current situation, how to choose is actually very simple.If His Majesty Li Er is here, no matter how violent the wind and waves are in Guanlong, they can only die in the end, and everything is subject to His Majesty Li Er Majesty's will.

And if His Majesty Li Er was not there, it would be another matter entirely.

As long as the Guanlong army captures the Taiji Palace and deposes the prince, then no matter who he supports as the heir, it can become an established fact.Naturally, those loyal to the East Palace will continue to resist, but at that time, the various clans in Hedong and Hexi will become the decisive force, and who they support will be enough to determine the final outcome.

If they support the affiliation of the East Palace, they will stand up to Guan Long, and the world will immediately fall into a state of disintegration, and a mighty civil war is inevitable.

If they support Guan Long, they will easily crush the affiliates of the East Palace and defeat the overall situation in one fell swoop.At that time, even if the Eastern Expedition army returns to Guanzhong, it will be of no avail. Without the prestige of His Majesty Li Er to deter the heroes, the Eastern Expedition army will also fall into a split battle.

All the gatekeepers are sharp-eyed, how can they not know how to make a choice under such circumstances?Naturally, it is the one who tends to be stronger, who decides the overall situation in one fell swoop, and then rewards and shares the benefits.

As a result, the various clans in Hedong and Hexi made their best efforts, and countless troops gathered in Guanzhong against the wind and snow.

Donggong Liulu and half of the Youtun Guards are like a lonely boat in the wind and waves, and there is the possibility of overturning and perishing at any time...

*****
There are ten gates in the east, west, south and north of Taiji Palace.Among them, there are three gates in the south, Chengtian Gate in the middle, Yongan Gate in the left, and Changle Gate in the right; there are two gates in the west and north, Jiayou Gate and Tongming Gate in the west, which are also the east gate of Yeting Palace. In the north are Xuanwu Gate and Anli Gate; in the east, there is only one gate to the East Palace, which is called Tongxun Gate, which is the west gate of the East Palace.

There are four gates in the north and south of the East Palace. The two gates in the south are Guangyun Gate, Chongming Gate, and Yongchun Gate. The north gate is called Xuande Gate.

Because the palace maid lives in Ye Ting Palace, only the east and west gates are opened, and the north and south gates are not opened.

Chengtianmen is not only a symbol of Taiji Palace, but also the most important place. Donggong Liulu and Guanlong army hoarded heavy troops to attack each other here. The killing was dark and dark for a while, and the corpses were scattered all over the city.

With the continuous flow of reinforcements into Chang'an City, the strength of the rebels has been greatly improved, and they can take turns to attack, gradually suppressing the Donggongliu's embarrassment, and the situation at Chengtianmen, Yonganmen and other places is critical.

However, the first to be breached by the rebels was Jiayoumen, located between Yeting Palace and Taiji Palace...

"kill!"

In the wind and snow, Qin Huaidao, with his helmet and armor, held a horizontal knife and rushed towards the rebels who had just climbed to the top of the city. Taking advantage of the forward momentum, he slashed the rebels' shoulders with one knife, almost slashing them into two pieces, and then kicked them with a kick. Kick down the city head.

The soldiers on the left and right also fought hard to kill the enemy, fighting with the rebels who had climbed to the top of the city.The rebel siege was thwarted.

However, dozens of cloud ladders were erected at the top of the city, and countless rebels continued to climb to the top of the city, facing the brave six leading soldiers desperately to resist, in order to give their companions time to climb to the top of the city.The number of rebels was too large, and despite Qin Huaidao's left and right killing more than ten rebels, the rebels were still gradually flooding the city.

Qin Huai's eyes were about to split, he slashed over a rebel army with one knife, gathered the left and right soldiers, and shouted: "The thieves are rebelling. I will kill the enemy!"

After defending the imperial city for more than two months, and countless Paozers died in battle, how could the rebels break into the city from the area they were guarding?

Even if you die, you have to die on this Jiayoumen!

Facing the swarming rebels, the soldiers on the left and right were unafraid even though they were all decorated, and they shouted in unison, "Here!"

The momentum is full, and the rebels in front of them are all discolored. Although there are many people, they are only constantly spreading towards the city wall, and they dare not charge directly.

Qin Huaidao was about to lead his soldiers to fight to the death, when suddenly a soldier behind him ran up to the top of the city and said loudly, "The commander has an order to withdraw the army!"

Qin Huaidao just didn't dare to disobey the military order, but when he saw the rebels break through the city from Jiayoumen, he was really unwilling, he spat fiercely, and cursed with red eyes: "Mother!" Then he quickly gathered the soldiers and removed Jiayou. Youmen, retreated in the direction of Shujing Hall and Anren Hall behind him.

The defense line of Miyagi has been lost since then.

……

Li Jing stood on the gate of Jiade, holding the hilt of the horizontal knife around his waist in his hand. The blue veins on the back of his hand were protruding. A pair of tiger eyes watched the influx of countless rebel soldiers from Chengtianmen. Confused, gritted her teeth tightly.Even though the strategy of enticing the enemy to go deeper and resisting gradually was set, the fall of Chengtianmen meant that this palace city, which symbolized the supremacy of imperial power, was about to fall into war. Such failures were absolutely unacceptable to people like Li Jing.

In his wasted but meritorious career, it is an inescapable shame.

Taking a deep breath, Li Jing immediately ordered the six leading troops to retreat back, enter the palace city, and follow the pre-established strategy step by step and stick to the battle.The purpose of retreating to Miyagi before was to gather the troops to fight the enemy decisively, and to fight for his life to buy time for His Royal Highness to retreat to Hexi. Now retreating to Miyagi is to deal with the enemy and wait for Fang Jun's army to break into Chang'an City, so that the inside and outside can be firmly guarded. City, and even a counterattack, routed the rebels.

Different goals have different strategies.

In a decisive battle with the enemy, one does not count casualties, but only seeks to break the enemy's momentum and restrain his spirit. In dealing with the enemy, one must stick to the Taiji Palace on the basis of preserving one's own strength, and drag the enemy into a hard fight.The former is tragic and majestic, and the entire army is easily annihilated, but it only needs a burst of blood and courage;

Fortunately, Li Jing has been skilled in the art of war all his life. He has gone through countless battles in the south and north, but he can handle such a scene now, but his military strength is at an absolute disadvantage.

Immediately, Li Jing sat under the gate of Jiade, dispatched troops, and strategized.

Donggong Liuzuo kept retreating from the outermost palace wall to the palace, but because they had already been arranged, they retreated without chaos. Although the Guanlong rebels could occupy the front line of the palace wall and disintegrate the defense of Donggong Liuzuo, it was difficult to take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand. The results of the battle can only be eaten into the palace little by little behind Donggong Liushui.

And because the defenders buried gunpowder when they captured the imperial city before, they suffered countless losses and low morale, so I didn't dare to follow too closely at this moment. After checking and confirming that no gunpowder was buried, they dared to enter the garrison. In addition, the Donggong Liu rate did not retreat blindly.

Outside the city, the news of Fang Jun's leading army rushing into Chang'an was generally flowing into Yanshoufang, and the situation became more and more tense and suffocating.Faced with the slow-moving battle of the palace, Guan Long was fiery and anxious.
