Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3919 The war situation is anxious
Li Chengqian said: "The British Duke may have other thoughts, but if the overall situation is settled, can he still risk the world's displeasure?"

Based on Li Ji's various actions after his withdrawal from Liaodong, it is easy to draw the conclusion of "killing people with a knife". Li Ji wants the East Palace to be destroyed and the prince to be abolished, so as to support a crown prince and achieve the goal of monopolizing power, but he has self-preservation Yu Yu didn't want to bear the name of "rebellion", so he sat and watched the Guanlong army's treasonous move but remained indifferent.

Doing so will definitely be criticized, and the world will accuse him of having ulterior motives and not being like a minister, but after all, he has never personally participated in the dethronement. Compared with the great power he has acquired, such criticisms are acceptable...

Therefore, Li Chengqian believed that as long as Li Ji returned to Chang'an, he would definitely take action against the rebellion, and would not personally take action to overthrow the East Palace.

There are some things that Fang Jun can’t say, and he can’t even give hints. He can only say: “How can we give the initiative to others, entrust life and death in the hands of others? Or should we take advantage of the victory and attack Yanshoufang, Then they went straight to the Chengtian Gate, surrounded the rebels in the Taiji Palace together with the Six Commanders of the East Palace and the Beiya Forbidden Army, and annihilated Guan Long's roots in one fell swoop."

The thoughts of the Guanlongmen faction are also clearly revealed. On the one hand, they stormed the Taiji Palace hoping to completely occupy it, and took the initiative in their hands. If they failed to capture the Taiji Palace, they would fight steadily and wait for Li Ji to lead his army back to Chang'an to stop the mutiny, and then surrendered , hoping to get Li Ji's asylum.

Li Chengqian understood Fang Jun's meaning. Once Li Ji defended Guan Long, intending to use it as a knife against the elites in Shandong and Jiangnan, it would be difficult to punish Guan Long from now on.

Even the emperor can't do things as he wants, let alone he is just a prince?
Then he nodded and said, "Everything is up to Erlang to decide."

Fang Jun was not polite, and immediately ordered: "Order Gao Kan to lead his troops to defeat the enemies blocking the West Market, quickly capture Yanshoufang, advance to the front line of Chengtian Gate, and block the retreat of Taiji Palace and East Palace. In addition, send people into Xuanwu Gate to inform the guards Lord, please counterattack immediately, attack on both sides with Gao Kan's troops, annihilate the rebels in Taiji Palace, and take advantage of the trend to attack the remnants of Guanlong, this cannot be tolerated."

"Here!"

Cheng Wu stood up, turned around and left.

There were a few shouts outside the tent, and then the sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded, and they hurried away.

*****
On the long street outside the West Market, even though it was raining heavily, the fighting never stopped.

The heavy-armored infantry of the Right Guards lined up in formation, facing the Guanlong army that was rushing head-on like a sea tide. The solid iron armor and sharp horizontal knives formed a torrent of steel, killing and swallowing the rebels. Although the pace was slow , but firmly moving forward, unstoppable.

Standing at the junction of West Market and Yanshoufang, Yu Suigu looked at the extremely tragic battlefield in the distance, raised his hand and wiped his face, his hands were wet, whether it was sweat or rain...

At every moment, Luoyang Yu's private soldiers went forward and succeeded with great heroism, but the hoplites armed to the teeth were like rocks on the coast, despite the fierce wind and waves, they still remained motionless.Countless private soldiers of the family were crushed, devoured, and killed, and Yu Suigu's heart continued to bleed.

Every clan has passed down through the dark and turbulent years of the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, and has developed elite private soldiers. While protecting the family property, they also rely on these armed forces to stir up troubles in the troubled times and become the family's weapon for profit.

To cultivate such a large and powerful private army, which family has not gone through dozens or even hundreds of years?

As a result, this mutiny almost wiped out the wealth accumulated by the Guanlong Clan over the past decades, not to mention the private army of the clan who was coerced and lured by Changsun Wuji to come to Guanzhong to help out, almost completely annihilated. The rest of the rout soldiers in twos and threes roamed around the Guanzhong, making a fuss...

The reinforcement troops from outside the Chunming Gate finally arrived, which made Yu Suigu heave a long sigh, and hurriedly withdrew his private soldiers on the grounds that they were "tired from a long battle" and "heavy losses", and sent the reinforcements to the Guanlong Army. go up.

The addition of thousands of new troops made the Guanlong army more powerful, but the heavy infantry of the Youtunwei still advanced firmly and steadily, not fast, but irresistible.

This made Yu Suigu feel cold, and realized a possibility...

He hastily pulled over the soldiers around him, and said in a loud voice: "Quickly return to Yanshoufang and inform Zhao Guogong, saying that the Youtun Guards obviously delayed the battle and refused to do their best. Let's reinforce, I'm afraid there will be a backup, please allow us to withdraw from the West Market and fight again with the whole army."

"Here!"

The soldiers hurriedly took orders and left.

Yu Suigu looked around, and simply let people squat under a section of the square wall, let him climb up to the square wall on his shoulders, and look down at the battlefield in front of him.

In the distance, the battle at the main entrance of the West Market was the most intense. The heavily armed infantry moved forward in uniform steps, slowly retreating the surging Guanlong army like an iron wall, and the Guanlong army seemed menacing. , in fact, can not do anything about it.The heavy infantry relied on the strength of their iron armor and the sharpness of their horizontal knives. All Guanlong soldiers who rushed forward were chopped, smashed, and moved forward unswervingly.

Yu Suigu felt more and more uneasy.

Youtunwei clearly has the strength to force a surprise attack. The Guanlong army gathered near the West Market is difficult to stop, but it has always been unhurried and steady. It is obviously a tactic of "surrounding the spot to fight for aid", and its purpose may not be to rescue the East Palace at all. Six rates, reinforcements to the Taiji Palace, but to consume the Guanlong army to the maximum extent.

In the current situation, even an ordinary school lieutenant would know the importance of the Taiji Palace to the entire battle situation. Once the Guanlong army captures the Taiji Palace and destroys the Six Rates of the East Palace, they can stick to it and just wait for Li Ji to return to the capital. .

At the very least, the Guanlongmen faction also has the confidence to negotiate.

You Tunwei tried his best to break through the Golden Light Gate, so how could he ignore the safety of the Tai Chi Palace?Obviously, You Tunwei thinks that the East Palace Six Rate can defend the Tai Chi Palace!Or, the Duke of Wei, Li Jing, has been showing the enemy his weakness and luring the enemy to go deeper. At the critical moment, there must be a backup...

After coming down from the wall, Yu Suigu became more and more anxious, but the soldiers who went to deliver the message returned shortly afterwards, and only gave him an order-no matter what the cost, the Right Guards should be blocked in Xishi, and the rest of the army should be blocked. Try to gain time to capture Taiji Palace.

And along with it came the soldiers around Changsun Wuji, who reprimanded Suigu: "Xishi is the place where the Guanlongmen clan lived and died. I hope you will spare no effort to fight to the death. Be sure to block the enemy here. Don't be cowardly and fail, and become the eternal sinner of the Guanlong Clan!"

motherfucker!

Yu Suigu was so angry that he almost vomited blood, if he hadn't been afraid of Changsun Wuji's previous prestige, he would have cursed him out loud.

If I can't stop You Tunwei, I will become the eternal sinner of the Guanlongmen Clan?
Your eldest grandson Wuji couldn't fill his own desires, committed the act of killing the king, and then coerced the entire Guanlong army to rebel to dethrone the prince and establish a new king, which led to the situation of life and death today. ?

Simply shameless!
But even though she was resentful and angry, she did not dare to disobey the military order. If she dared to withdraw from the West Market recently, Changsun Wuji would dare to chop off his head and blame all the crimes on the Yu family of Luoyang...

He could only keep urging his soldiers to rush towards the heavy infantry with red eyes, and let the corpses of Guanlong soldiers pile up on the long street, and let the blood splatter and gather into streams that were diluted by the pattering rain and flowed into the roadside and corners. gutters...

……

Compared with Suigu's pain, Gao Kan took the time to rest. The heavy armor is better than the armor that covers the whole body. These heavy armors hinder the agility and speed of the soldiers. It is not very effective in field battles, and the mobility is too poor, but It is used in street fighting like this, but it is almost invulnerable, it can be called invincible.

Breaking through the Golden Light Gate is the most important step in reversing the situation. Now that the Golden Light Gate has been captured and entered the city, there is no need to rush.

Although it was effortless to raid the West Market and reach Yanshoufang, Gao Kan still fought steadily without being too eager, so as not to completely defeat the morale of the Guanlong army under the sudden rush, causing the morale of the army storming the Taiji Palace to drop sharply and withdraw from the Taiji Palace. Converge with the army in the city and evacuate outside the city.

Leaving the big "urn" of Taiji Palace, it will be more difficult to annihilate Guanlong's army to the maximum extent, and Li Ji must have begun to lead the army back to Beijing. After a little delay of a day or two, Guanlong can retreat calmly and preserve his strength .

Half of Chang'an City was almost reduced to ruins, the majestic and majestic Taiji Palace was razed to the ground, and the East Palace was killed and injured countless times. How could Guan Long be allowed to withdraw his troops, and then return to the court dignifiedly under the protection of Li Ji?

All the Eastern Palace troops held their breath and vowed to completely annihilate the Guanlong Army before giving up!
