Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3856 Wounded
For the Guanlong army, the explosion of gunpowder buried in Chengtian Gate and the other gates not long ago caused them great harm, and there are still lingering fears to this day.So at this moment, Chengtianmen exploded with a bang, and the rising black smoke splashed and scattered dust, mud and rubble, which completely aroused the fear in their hearts in an instant, and the morale of the army quickly collapsed.

I don't know who yelled "Goro died in battle", the soldiers around were stunned, then turned around and ran away...

The Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace had already prepared, and came back under the command of Cheng Chubi. The soldiers of Guanlong fell from the broken wall one after another, retreating in a swarm, crowded and trampled, and there was no one left under the sudden retreat. The rules, the formation are loose, the morale of the army is floating, and there are countless people who trample on each other.

It was not a defeat, but the morale of the Guanlong army receded like a tide, and the casualties were huge.

The Yuwen scholars who were in the back line ordered people to take the unconscious Changsun Wuji back to Yanshoufang for treatment, and quickly took over the command, ordered the supervising team to shoot at the front line, and slashed hundreds of people with a horizontal knife. With the scattered soldiers, this was the only way to stop the rout.

Then let the reserve team in the back line press forward, trying their best to resist the counterattack of Donggong Liuzhao, and slowly withdraw the front line team.

Fortunately, he acted decisively and had sufficient prestige to command the army, which prevented a large-scale rout.Otherwise, once they are chased and killed by the Six Commanders of the East Palace with the tail of the defeated Guanlong army on the front line, it will easily cause chaos in the rear reserve team, and it may cause the Guanlong army to suffer a massacre...

Cheng Chubi, who boarded the Chengtian Gate again, watched the Guanlong army slowly retreat in an orderly manner. He did not expect the rebel army to respond quickly and command well, and felt a little regretful.However, he has a calm temperament and will never be greedy for merit. He immediately ordered the troops under his command not to pursue him, and took the opportunity to treat the wounded, collect the corpses, and then strengthen the city wall.

Although the explosion just now killed and wounded many rebels and forced them to retreat, the remaining thunderbolts in the army were used up at one time. Without the help of these sharp weapons for defending the city, the next battle of defending the city will be even more difficult. more difficult and crueler.

Suddenly there was a commotion not far away, and several soldiers ran over carrying a dead body, excitedly saying: "General, there is a big fish!"

Cheng Chubi was overjoyed: "Who was captured?"

The soldier shook his head and said, "I haven't taken any prisoners, but I was killed when I found them. It's Wulang from the eldest grandson's family..."

"Eldest Sun Wen?"

Cheng Chubi was taken aback, and hurried forward to check.They are all playboys with strong backgrounds in Chang'an City. Even if they disdain or even hate each other at this level, it is impossible not to know each other.After careful identification, it was indeed Changsun Wen, so Cheng Chubi was silent for a while.

Although he was quite displeased with Changsun Wen's insidious, cunning and narrow-mindedness, he never had any deep hatred. Even though Guan Long raised his troops to rebel against the East Palace at this moment, he never regarded the other party as a "traitor". It's just the master, there is anger, not hatred.

At this moment, Changsun Wen's eyes were closed tightly, and the skull on the left side might have been hit by flying bricks and rubble and collapsed. There were red and white brains flowing out, and half of his face was covered with blood. There were no scars on the rest of the place. fatal blow.

The children of the aristocratic family who were arrogant in the past have now become a lifeless corpse. This brings greater shock and emotion to Cheng Chubi than the tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers who died in front of him...

Taking a breath, Cheng Chubi said in a deep voice: "Take the body away temporarily, and I will report to His Royal Highness in person later."

Although Guan Long is a rebel, the eldest grandson Wen is the prince's cousin at any rate, and "cousin" is an extremely close relative. Regardless of what the prince thinks, he killed the eldest grandson Wen by himself, and must go to the prince to "plead guilty" , Take this charge firmly on your back, and then let the prince "rebuke" a few words, or punish him.

It is best not to let the reputation of beheading grandson Wen fall on the prince.

"Be good at thinking at all times, and think about everything from the perspective of the emperor or the prince as much as possible." This is the way my father took the trouble to teach them how to be ministers...

After the soldiers promised to take Changsun Wen's body down to collect it, Cheng Chubi collected his mind and ordered the captain under his command: "While the rebels are retreating, hurry up to repair the city walls and arrange defenses. The attack is ten times fiercer! We are fighting here to protect the Zhengshuo Empire for the crown prince, such a glorious mission, even if we are smashed to pieces, we have to bear it all! Everyone, if you live in the city, you will die in the city!"

"People live in the city, but people die when the city falls!"

The morale of the soldiers near the left was high, and they raised their arms and shouted wildly.

In any era, as long as the soldiers know why they are fighting and give them a bright and just reason, they will often be able to explode with great fighting power, and death will never follow!
……

In Yanshoufang, after some treatment, Changsun Wuji woke up slowly.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Changsun Yan kneeling in front of the bed covered in blood and in a state of embarrassment, with tears on his face, obviously he had just cried not long ago.

Changsun Wuji struggled to sit up, Changsun Yan hurriedly got up from the ground, stepped forward to help Changsun Wuji sit up, and took a pillow to cushion his back, so that he could sit more easily.

Changsun Wuji's face was pale and his eyes were dull. He looked at Changsun Yan with trembling lips, and asked weakly, "How is the battle going? How is your fifth brother?"

Chang Sunyan took two steps back, knelt down again, and cried bitterly: "Father, we are defeated, fifth brother... Fifth brother also died in battle!"

The Yuwen scholar on the side curled his lips indistinctly. He naturally knew the entanglement between Changsun Yan and Changsun Wen. A series of manipulations by Changsun Wen almost killed Changsun Yan. It took a long time to die.

I thought to myself that this kid is really embarrassing, now that the grandson Wen is dead, no one will compete with him for the position of the head of the grandson family, it is not easy to be bubbling with joy, but still have to make a gesture of crying and crying ...

In front of Changsun Wuji's eyes, Venus danced wildly, his chest was oppressed for a while, and he was about to faint again, so he quickly took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He didn't feel that way about the death of Changsun Wen, and he felt so much pain that he couldn't live without it. Maybe it was because he had too many sons, and Changsun Wen was never the most outstanding one. Whether he died or not was irrelevant to the overall situation.However, he felt deeply humiliated that he failed to attack Chengtianmen with concentrated forces, and was repulsed by Cheng Chubi's stupid trick again.

Though his eldest grandson Wuji is not considered a famous commander in the world, he has always been good at wit and tactics, but he was defeated by Cheng Chubi twice...

He absolutely does not admit that he is not as good as Cheng Chubi. In his opinion, he is full of wit and tricks, but for a one-hearted idiot like Cheng Chubi, he can't use any tricks and throws away any calculations. Showed to a blind man—that fool can't read these things at all.

It is easy for a smart person to be deflated in front of a fool. They think that a smart person always follows their own wisdom in doing things, but how can a smart person understand the thinking of a fool?
Let you make all kinds of designs and schemes, he just fights and kills fiercely, and often pretends to be clever and does things that make smart people unbelievable...

Changsun Wuji wanted to vomit another mouthful of blood.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the sadness and resentment in my heart, I raised my head and said to Yuwen Shiji: "The old man is not feeling well, and please ask Duke Ying to preside over the overall situation on his behalf. At present, the Sixth Commander of the Eastern Palace is only struggling to support us. After a long battle, please send troops from outside the city to continue to attack Taiji Palace, and don't give Donggong Liuzhai any chance to breathe."

Li Ji is still stationed in Tongguan and watching from the sidelines. At this time, Donggong and Guan Long are actually at the end of their battles. As long as one of them bites their teeth and holds back their breath, they are likely to win the victory, and then turn around to negotiate with Li Ji. Maybe they can break through Find a way out.

What's more, these private troops were sent to the battlefield on purpose to be consumed by him. The more they are consumed, the less threatening the Guanlongmen faction will be in Li Ji's eyes, and naturally the safer they will be...

Yuwen Shiji nodded and said: "Don't worry about the auxiliary machine, I have no shirkable responsibility! I will definitely command the army to continue to storm the Taiji Palace. Even if the battle ends in the end, I vow to capture the Taiji Palace!"

Changsun Wuji nodded in relief. It was obvious that Yuwen Shiji had fully understood his intentions, and stood with him, using the last bit of the Guanlong private army to win the collapse of the East Palace, and also use this to try to get rid of Li Ji. to give the Guanlongmen faction a chance to survive.

As long as the blood descendants of the powerful family can be passed on, what kind of price can't be paid?

A strong man breaks his arm, that's all.
