Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4375 Break through Chang'an!

When Li Daozong was at a loss and hesitating, he suddenly heard a faint roar coming from outside the Chengtian Gate. A moment later, the sound of screaming and charging came together like a mountain roaring and a tsunami, as if the whole city was trembling and shaking.

Li Daozong was ecstatic, raised his horizontal knife and shouted: "Jin Wang's army is just outside the city, sons and lords quickly attack Chengtian Gate and join forces with Jin Wang!"

"rush!"

"kill!"

The morale of the soldiers under his command was high, and they launched a fierce attack again with red eyes.

Since Xuanwumen entered Taiji Palace, although the battle situation has progressed smoothly, but after all, it is a lone army deep in the face of the tenacious resistance of the defenders. It is inevitable that the pressure will be extremely high. Not everyone can bear the pressure of annihilating the entire army at every turn. But now there is only Chengtian Gate separated from King Jin's army. As long as the two armies join forces, the natural strength will skyrocket, and the entire Tai Chi Palace will be under control. The victory is so close, how can we not go all out?
Outside the city, Yu Chigong personally led the guards on the right under his command to attack Chunming Gate, and rushed all the way to Chengtian Gate. When he saw the guards at the top of the city rushing back and forth and killing, he knew that there was an army attacking the city from inside the gate at this moment, and it was too late. The army was rectified and immediately ordered to attack the city.

Thousands of soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city carrying the ladders, and then climbed up to attack the city after setting up the ladders.

The defenders were under Li Daozong's onslaught, and the defense was focused on the inner city side. Yu Chigong came suddenly, and the offensive was stronger than Li Daozong's. It was too late to adjust the defense, and they were overwhelmed and in chaos.

Inside the city, Li Daozong saw that the defenders on the city were in chaos. Obviously, they were attacked more forcefully from outside the city. He immediately changed his strategy, ordered to abandon the siege, and concentrated his forces to rush to the city gate, trying to open the city gate from the inner city.

The defenders naturally refused to let the rebels rush into the city, otherwise the city gate would fall and the rebels would attack from inside and outside, and immediately organize troops to defend the city gate.

The two sides fought fiercely in the narrow area under the city gate. The soldiers were so red-eyed that one side attacked fiercely, and the other side desperately resisted. Due to the narrow area, the rebels could not give full play to their superiority in strength.

Outside the city, Yu Chigong saw that the King of Jin had followed, but the Chengtian Gate was standing still, and his eyes turned red. This gentleman was also a brave man who captured the flag back then, but he has been tempered and tempered in the past few years. Muscles and bones, seeing that the occupation is not going well at this moment, suddenly became fierce, jumped off the horse's back, threw the horse lance to the soldiers, drew out the horizontal knife from his waist, widened his eyes and roared: "Follow me to kill the enemy!" !"

Regardless of the obstruction of the soldiers around him, he put the horizontal knife in his mouth, took off the cloak behind him, and ran towards Chengtianmen.Stepping over the toppled suspension bridge, a few steps came to the bottom of the city, pulled the soldiers under the ladder aside, stepped on the crossbar of the ladder, and rushed up four or five steps with a sudden force, only then grasped the soldiers with both hands. The ladder, then landed, and then jumped up...

People in their tens of years are still very strong and healthy, before the defenders on the city can react, they have already leaped to the top of the city after a few sprints, and with one hand, they took down the horizontal knife in their mouths and "sweeped thousands of troops" in front of them. Forced to retreat, he occupied a foothold at the head of the city.

Yuchi Gong took the lead in attacking the city first, and the soldiers around him were scared out of their wits, and they all followed closely behind and climbed up to the top of the city when Yu Chigong was firmly on his feet, and then scattered to surround Yuchi Gong among them.

Yu Chigong was furious, and yelled: "What are you doing protecting me? I can still pick up a knife to kill the enemy, and I don't need your protection! Push forward quickly and capture the city gate!"

"Here!"

The guards formed a formation in twos and twos and rushed towards the defenders, immediately killing the defenders in chaos, the defense collapsed, and more and more right-waiting guards climbed to the top of the city.

The movement on the city obviously affected the morale of the defenders below the city. Li Daozong also personally led the army to fight against Shishi, and finally killed the defenders gathered under the city, rushed to the gate of the city, and opened the gate.

The heavy Chengtian Gate opened slowly, and the noon sun shone on the dark city gate hole under the gate, followed by countless rebels flooding into the city gate. The Taiji Palace, the highest power center of the Tang Empire.

Inside the city gate, the soldiers were rushing like a torrent. Yu Chigong and Li Daozong met on the side of the road. The two most representative nobles of the Zhenguan Dynasty walked towards each other. When they got close, they did not salute, but stretched out their arms to each other Hugging together, they patted each other's backs heavily with their palms, all emotions were expressed without words.

The world is impermanent, and good fortune plays tricks on people. Who would have thought that the two who were supposed to enjoy prosperity and wealth would go to this step of rebellion?
Yu Chigong glanced at the army rushing towards the Wude Hall like a tide, and asked, "Is the Prince of the County waiting for His Royal Highness Prince Jin here?"

Li Daozong thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Soldiers are precious, we have now cut off the passage between Taiji Palace and the outside of the city. Conquer the Hall of Martial Virtue and completely occupy the Taiji Palace, otherwise Fang Jun will arrive later, and life will change."

It is naturally best to capture Li Chengqian alive, but Li Chengqian has been living in the Wude Palace since he took the throne, which is enough to see that there must be a secret way to the outside world in the palace for him to escape at any time, so it is almost impossible to capture him alive.

But even if he is allowed to escape, as long as the Taiji Palace, the highest power center of the Tang Empire, is completely captured, it means that the imperial power has fallen, and the King of Jin can ascend the throne in the Taiji Palace, declare to the world, and become the nominal ruler of the empire.

It was Li Chengqian who fled. Even though he was still the de facto emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he could only become a "false emperor" on the side of the separatist regime.

As for whether it will be Li Chengqian's comeback in the end, or the king of Jin who will kill them all, it will not be too late to make a long-term plan...

Yu Chigong nodded: "Then I will join hands with the county king to capture the Wude Hall!"

The two stepped on the horses led by their personal soldiers respectively, and surrounded by countless soldiers, they rushed towards the Wude Palace in a mighty manner.

……

In the autumn sky, the willows on both sides of Tianjie have withered. Because of the war in Chang'an, the daily operations of Chang'an and Wannian counties have long since come to a standstill. On the first floor, people and horses galloped past and brought these dead leaves to circle and dance in the air. Before they fell, they were picked up again...

The Lifangs on both sides were lined up, and the gates were closed. When the guards on the right in front passed by, Qiu did not commit any crimes, but when King Jin entered the city, the accompanying army was in chaos. Looting and looting are all evil.These powerful and private soldiers were recruited hastily. Not only are their military skills seriously lacking, but their military discipline is almost nonexistent. Seeing the prosperous and prosperous Chang'an City like a beautiful woman lying in front of them without any defense, it is hard to bear the evil thoughts and forget them all. It is necessary to assist King Jin to achieve a great cause.

Surrounded by Xiao Yu, Chu Suiliang and others, Li Zhi rode his horse and galloped towards Chengtianmen. Although he saw his soldiers harming Lifang, he turned a blind eye to it. Now he is full of heart to enter the Taiji Palace to inherit the great cause of the emperor, so he can't care about it These stragglers?
The big deal is to send a censor to investigate and punish severely after ascending the throne, but now he has no time to care...

Banditry is like a comb, and soldiers are like a grate. War has always been so cruel.

Li Zhi led the army to gallop all the way along the long street. When they arrived at Chengtianmen, Chengtianmen had already fallen. The opened city gate made Li Zhi's blood boil, and he waited to gallop into the forbidden palace that he dreamed of being in charge of.

But Xiao Yu grabbed the rein of the horse: "Your Highness, no! Now the fierce battle in the palace is in full swing, and the soldiers and horses of all sides are fighting in one place. The winner has not yet been decided, and there are dangers everywhere. If Your Highness enters the palace rashly, it will definitely become a battle for all sides. The focus of attention, it may be that no one will take the risk to attack, and others will be fine, but if Fang Jun's troops come to attack with firearms... A gentleman can't stand under a dangerous wall, let alone take risks!"

Li Zhi also calmed down, looked up at the Chengtianmen that had just been rebuilt, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "We won't enter the palace, but we will wait here at Chengtianmen for good news from Prince Jiangxia and Prince Hejian!"

He took Xiao Yu's words very seriously. He was in a dangerous place before because of the situation, and he had to take the risk to face the encirclement from three sides. Now that he has entered the palace, victory is not far away. Twists and turns when approaching victory?
In Chengtianmen, you can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and you will be in an invincible position.

Only then did Xiao Yu let go of the rein: "Your Highness has learned a lesson!"

Immediately surrounding Li Zhi entered the open Chengtian Gate, the soldiers left by Yu Chigong lined up on both sides, and greeted King Jin to enter at the gate...

Li Zhi rode his horse into the Taiji Palace along the long city gate, and the familiar towering roof of the Taiji Palace in front of him shone brightly under the sun, which made him feel agitated and unable to control himself.

Even a peerless hero like the father, an eternal emperor, entered the palace from the Xuanwu Gate to seize the imperial power when he "usurped against him" back then, which caused people in the world to question him endlessly, which was regarded as a major stain in his life.

Now I am leading the army to capture Chang'an, entering the gate of heaven with dignity, and I am about to ascend the throne as a great treasure and dominate the world!
In the history books of later generations, who would dare to put the word "usurpation" on Li Zhi? !
After entering the city gate, dismounted, the guards of King Jin's Mansion immediately took over the defense of Chengtianmen from the guards on the right, checked inside and out, and occupied all the dangerous positions, Li Zhi went straight up Chengtianmen along the horse road.

Standing on the city gate, overlooking to the north, the entire Tai Chi Palace falls into view.

The splendid rivers and mountains, the supreme imperial power, are at your fingertips...

Standing beside Li Zhi, Xiao Yu didn't feel the slightest chill despite the autumn wind blowing towards her and flapping her sleeves. On the contrary, her blood was boiling, her face was flushed, and her body trembled slightly.

When he entered the Tang Dynasty, he was entrusted with an important task by the Emperor Gaozu. He played a pivotal role in the war of sweeping the world in the Tang Dynasty and made great contributions. One of the best existences among ministers.

However, those glories in the past are completely incomparable with the achievements that are about to be created now. This is an extraordinary achievement in assisting King Jin to ascend to the throne and overwhelming all famous generals!

To be under one person, above ten thousand people, with power all over the government and the public, leading the Lanling Xiao family to become the number one family in the world is the ultimate goal he pursues...
