Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3914
Changsun Wuji struggled for a long time, unable to make up his mind, which is extremely rare for him who has always been decisive.After hesitating for a long time, he asked Yu Wenshi and said, "How much combat power do you think the Six Commanders of the Eastern Palace still have?"

Yuwen Shiji also felt the tremendous pressure that Changsun Wuji was under. After all, a single decision would completely determine Guan Long's life and death. This pressure is very bearable.

After pondering for a while, he said cautiously: "According to reason, the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace are already at the end of their battles. If Zhang Shigui hadn't opened the Xuanwu Gate to allow the crown prince to escape and give the East Palace hope, the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace would have already collapsed at this moment. We only need to force the attack. Victory is within reach."

Just when Changsun Wuji nodded again and again, he said: "But the most important thing is whether the Yu family's private soldiers can stop the right guards. If they can stop it, how long can they stop it, and whether they can stop our army from completely capturing After Xuanwu Gate? If we can, we will surely win. Even if Fang Jun breaks through the Xishi soldiers and comes to Chengtian Gate, we can stick to Taiji Palace and wait for Li Ji to lead his army back to Beijing; if not, we must evacuate Chang'an and abandon Taiji Palace Because the current retreat of the Sixth Commander of the East Palace is more like luring the enemy to go deep, once we get caught in it, it is very likely that the right guards will steal the way and the whole army will be wiped out."

Changsun Wuji was quite disappointed. He wanted to hear some constructive opinions from Yuwen Shiji, but he didn't want to continue to talk about the same old things, which were of no use...

He stood up, walked out of the side hall with his hands behind his back and entered the main hall, and stood still in front of the wall. Looking at the map of Nuo Da hanging on the wall, he suddenly felt something in his heart.

There have been marching maps since ancient times, but the map in front of me is so accurate in proportion and meticulous in detail. It includes the topography and road construction in and around Chang'an City in detail, and you can see all of them without leaving home. But it was Fang Jun who did his best.

Since he served as the left servant of the Ministry of War, he has started to make preparations. He not only dispatched scribes, students, and merchants to collect the drawings of Tang's domestic cities, mountains and rivers, but also collected information and surveyed and mapped in neighboring countries, drawing countless maps of great value. The rise of Datang's military strength made great achievements.

Except for Fang Jun, no one can afford the manpower and material resources consumed.Only this one, Fang Jun's contribution to the empire is few people can match.

It's just a pity that this son stood firmly behind His Majesty, willing to be His Majesty's sword and gun to the Guanlongmen Clan, and he was incompatible with the Guanlongmen Clan, otherwise he would pay all the price to win him over, even before Xiao Yu wanted to marry him. Choosing a girl to give Fang Jun as a concubine, without any regard for her status as the leader of Guanlong...

With a secret sigh, he focused his gaze on the map, carefully looked at the situation in the Taiji Palace, and considered how likely the Guanlong army was to completely defeat the Six Rates of the East Palace; if they could defeat the Six Rates of the East Palace, how much would it take time.

In the meantime, battle reports continued to arrive here.

The Yu family in Luoyang suffered heavy losses, and it was difficult to resist the front of the heavy infantry of the right guards. Outside the West City, there was a mountain of blood and blood. , the army drove straight in, and was storming the Ganlu Gate, one step away from the Ganlu Hall...

Combined with the battle report, Changsun Wuji planned to deduce the situation. Once the Guanlong army attacked the Ganlu Palace, seven or eight out of ten palaces and palaces in the Taiji Palace would have fallen into their hands. There is not much depth left for the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace, and the final decisive battle will take place in the Neizhong Gate and under the Xuanwu Gate. Even if the Six Rates of the Eastern Palace and the "Bei Ya Forbidden Army" on the Xuanwu Gate cannot be defeated, they will completely occupy the Taiji Palace.

Although the heavy infantry of Youtunwei are powerful, they only have more than [-] soldiers, and the inner squares in Chang'an are connected and defended everywhere. It is difficult for the most elite armored cavalry of Youtunwei to charge, so they will not go into battle. With the current strength of the Guanlong army, it is difficult to defend, but it is not difficult to delay time.

Changsun Wuji thought for a long time, and felt that it was very likely that Guanlong's army would capture Taiji Palace first, and then they could defend Taiji Palace to death... The most important thing is naturally whether Li Ji would be as reluctant to see Shandong and Jiangnan as he thought. The clans of the two places took Guanlong and replaced them, and after this battle, they aggressively invaded the center and occupied the court?
A soldier rushed in and came behind Changsun Wuji and reported: "Patriarch, the Dugu family and the Linghu family have sent private soldiers into the city and arrived in Xishi to fight with Youtunwei. The momentum of the charge has been stopped. In addition, some elders of Hou Mochen's family left the city from Chunming Gate and rushed to the west of the city by detour, intending to release Hou Mochen Lin from the power of commanding troops, and put him in the clan for punishment. Hou Mochen The family's private soldiers will enter the city from Mingde Gate and rush to the West Market for reinforcements."

Changsun Wuji remained silent, thinking in his heart.

This is Hou Mo's and Chen's family's confession to him. After all, Hou Mo and Chen Lin led the troops back, causing the right guards to break through the Golden Light Gate and the situation suddenly deteriorated. They couldn't get around this.

However, Hou Mo and the Chen family did not fight Jinguangmen to express their "guilt" to the death, but detoured to Mingdemen in the south of the city and entered the city to join the battle in Xishi. This is a very wise move.The invincibility of the Right Tunwei in the field has been a unified understanding of Guanlong. Only by building defenses in Chang'an City with the help of Lifang can it resist the overwhelming offensive of the Right Tunwei and buy enough time for Guanlong's army to capture the Taiji Palace.

At the same time, the participation of Hou Mochen's family will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the Guanlong army in Xishi area. After all, apart from Changsun's family and Yuwen's family, the private soldiers of Luoyang Yu's family and Hou Mochen's family are among the rest. Strength is the most.Under the situation where Changsun's family and Yuwen's family lost troops and generals one after another, Hou Mo and Chen Lin tried to preserve their own strength, intending to occupy a more important position among the Guanlongmen Clan after the war. Accepted, but understandable.

"Send a letter to Hou Mo and Chen's family, and say that I have already understood his intentions. At the time of the survival of this family, everyone should forge ahead and work together. When the success is achieved in the future, the conspiracy will be drunk, and the grievances will be offset!"

This is a reassurance for the Hou Mo Chen family, so that they can go into battle with confidence, in case the Hou Mo Chen family is just using this to test whether his eldest grandson Wuji is resentful because of Hou Mo Chen Lin's actions, and seeing him become angry and unwilling Rao, maybe turn around and join the Eastern Palace camp...

"Here!"

The soldiers took orders and left.

Changsun Wuji made up his mind because of the sudden awakening of Hou Mo and Chen's family, and said loudly, "Come on!"

"I am humble!"

Several captains in the hall hurried forward.

Changsun Wuji looked stern: "The order was sent to Suigu to resist the surprise attack of the Youtunwei at all costs. As long as he can block the Youtunwei in Xishi, after this battle, I will recommend him to the post of Minister of the Ministry of War. With this oath, heaven and earth will perish!"

"Here!"

A school lieutenant turned around and walked out quickly, rushing to the West Market to deliver the order.

Changsun Wuji turned sideways, and said to the Yuwen scholar who came out of the side hall: "For the sake of Guanlong's foundation forever, please benevolent brothers go into battle and supervise the battle of Taiji Palace. We must capture the palace before Youtunwei breaks through the West Market!"

Yuwen Shi and understand that Changsun Wuji has made up his mind to carry out the "adventure" to the end, not only to bet that the Guanlong army can end the battle in the Taiji Palace before the Right Tunwei rushes to Chengtianmen, but also to go all out to defend The Tai Chi Palace even had to bet that Li Ji would lead his army back to Chang'an to prevent the Youtunwei from continuing to raid the Guanlong army.

The stakes are high...and of course once the bet wins, the rewards are equally huge.

Yuwen Shiji smiled and said: "You and I have known each other since we were young, and we have been inseparable. We have been in the same dynasty for 20 years, and we cherish each other. I regard you as the leader for most of my life, and because of this, I have the honor and glory of the past [-] years. The family is prosperous. Now life and death , since you should follow the old rules, be willing to obey orders, and never back down!"

The eldest grandson and Yuwen's two families have long been integrated into one body, sharing weal and woe. Before that, he had thought of replacing him, but Yuwenlong led the elite of the Yuwen family and lost them all in the battle in the north of the city. Even Yuwenlong himself was defeated and captured. There are only more than [-] people left in the illustrious "Private Soldiers of Woye Town". After the battle of Taiji Palace, there may not even be half of the [-]...

The ambition was shattered by reality, besides supporting Changsun Wuji, where is there a second way to go?
Immediately, the seriously ill Yuwen Shi and his sick body put on their armor, surrounded by their own soldiers, braved the light rain and arrived at Liangyi Hall. They set up a temporary commander's tent here, and commanded the Guanlong army to launch a tide-like offensive. Regardless of the casualties, they continued to attack the East Palace Six Rates who were fighting and retreating. They vowed to defeat the East Palace Six Rates in the fastest time, completely occupy the Tai Chi Palace, and reverse the situation.

At the same time, a few fast horses galloped into the camp under Tongguan in the breeze and rain, and sent the news of Chang'an to Li Ji...
