Tiantang Splendid

Cui Xin was scolded severely by Li Zhidou, his mind calmed down, and he also realized that things seemed to be breaking out. He didn't care how the routs ravaged Chang'an, and it even seemed a bit indulgent at first. Based in Shandong, if the private army under the sect can rob Chang'an rich households and bring their wealth back to Shandong, it will be a great thing for Li Zhi to bear the benefits of Cui's name...

But after being scolded by Li Zhi, he realized that Li Zhi might push this matter on Cui's head, so he was afraid and dissatisfied.

The Cui family almost emptied the family property for your throne, and all the young and strong members of the clan joined the battle. It can be said that they were desperate, but you were not grateful at all.

Want the horse to run, but not feed the horse?
But no matter how angry he is in his heart, he has to stop the rout of troops from harming Chang'an City now, otherwise the Cui family will become the enemy of the world in the future...

Cui Xin came down from the Chengtian Gate, and hurriedly summoned his own children and other representatives of the Shandong clan, with a gloomy expression: "Your Highness has an order, immediately gather people to stop the rout soldiers from looting everywhere, or you will bear the consequences!"

Some people were dissatisfied: "There are tens of thousands of rout soldiers scattered in various places. At this moment, the command has long been invalid, and it is the time when the eyes are red. I am afraid that no one will listen to what they say. How to stop it?"

"Your Highness said it lightly. If he hadn't run too fast when he entered the city, how could the rear army be defeated?"

The rout soldiers scattered into various places in Chang'an to plunder and rob. It may not be without the acquiescence or even support of them, the big talkers. To stop the rout and looting?
Especially the current situation is unpredictable, and the outcome is unpredictable. If you can't get a vote to make up for the loss, who will you ask for these losses after King Jin's defeat?

Supporting the King of Jin this time has already caused all the families to go bankrupt, and all the goods are consumed. If the King of Jin is defeated, they will face the sanction and punishment of the court, and they will not be able to rob them again. never posted...

Cui Xin was furious, and angrily shouted: "It's so stupid, it's unreasonable! Do you think that there is nothing wrong with robbing and slapping your ass in Chang'an City? These dignitaries, dignitaries, princes and ministers who have been kidnapped and abused by you will hate our Shandong family." To the core, even if Jin Wang succeeds, do you think he will offend everyone and favor the Shandong family? He will push us out to appease the public anger, and distribute our merits along the way to appease those princes and princes!"

If the King of Jin succeeds, there is no doubt that the Shandong aristocratic family has made great contributions. Countless Shandong children will fill the ruling class of the empire. Shandong children will occupy important positions in all levels of government and yamen, achieving the political status that the Shandong aristocratic family dreams of .

However, for the emperor, rewarding merit is of course important, but balance is more important!
Why did Emperor Taizong start to target and suppress the Guanlong clan who broke up his family and helped him achieve his great cause after ten years of Zhenguan?It is because the Guanlongmen faction dominates the court and has seriously threatened the majesty of the imperial power.

The lesson from the past is here, how can Li Zhi allow another Guanlongmen clan to reappear?

Indulging in plundering today will become a tool for Li Zhi and his political opponents to suppress the Shandong family in the future, but these idiots only look at the benefits in front of them, and they can't see the danger in the future...

But Cui Xin has great prestige among the Shandong aristocratic family. With his words of anger, all the Shandong disciples were dissatisfied and full of complaints, but they did not dare to disobey. More than [-] people quickly assembled in front of Tianmen, and then slowly walked south along Zhuque Avenue, and at the same time cleared out the routs in Lifang along the way, so as to gather the routs and restore order.

The rain was falling from the sky, and it was getting bigger and bigger. The thin and dense rain shrouded the entire Chang'an City. Under the dark night, the flames that suddenly ignited in various neighborhoods were dazzling, which meant that another big mansion of a wealthy family had been robbed.

Cui Xin commanded the gathered army and hadn't gone far when some soldiers rushed to report that Liu Rengui had led the navy soldiers to capture Mingdemen, and the whole army had entered the city, intercepting and killing the rout soldiers scattered everywhere in Lifang. Coming in the direction of Chengtianmen...

Cui Xin turned pale with shock, he had already been killed, and the [-] troops outside Mingde's gate were smashed by the enemy, and they were defeated in the blink of an eye. How dare they face Liu Rengui's troops now?
He quickly sent someone to ask Li Zhi for instructions, but what can Li Zhi do?The troops entering the city are attacking the Hall of Martial Virtue, and they are suffering huge casualties every moment. It is impossible to divide the troops into Liu Rengui, so they can only reply to Cui Xin to order him to block Liu Rengui on Tianjie no matter what, and keep him from approaching Chengtianmen ...

Cui Xin also realized that this is the moment of victory and defeat. Victory means life, and defeat means death. He gritted his teeth and ordered the Shandong disciples around him: "Your Highness has an order. Let us stop Liu Rengui and buy time for the army to capture Wude Palace! Everyone, Success or failure depends on one stroke, for the survival of our Shandong family and the future of our children, we should do our best and regard death as home!"

"Here!"

Everyone responded with a loud bang. There have been many heroes in Shandong since ancient times. Even the powerful families who passed down poems and books have never given up the martial arts passed down from their ancestors. There are almost no weak scholars who have no power to restrain chickens. Hearing what Cui Xin said at this moment, he also understands that the Shandong family has now boarded the wrecked ship of the King of Jin, and they can only help each other in the same boat and assist the King of Jin to ascend to the throne to achieve a great cause.

Now they have all been aroused with blood and courage, and led the army gathered under their command to advance southward along Tianjie.

The two sides encountered each other near Jingshanfang. The Shandong private army blocked the entire Tianjie in a mess and charged forward. The navy soldiers were in a formation, loaded with ammunition under the command of Liu Rengui, and fired to resist the enemy.

Bang bang bang!
Intensive gunshots exploded on Tianjie. The "three-stage strike" combat method can ensure continuous fire suppression, but due to the heavy rain, the muskets are severely damp. Many muskets are even completely soaked by rain, and the ammunition is wet and cannot be fired. leading to a great reduction in power.

Even so, the Shandong private army that was charging forward also fell down, but due to the large number of people, the spacious Tianjie seemed a bit narrow, and the crowd rushed forward like a tide, and the momentum of the charge continued unabated.

Cui Xin had never personally experienced a battle before this, but he also saw that the power of the musket was greatly reduced. He was overjoyed and urged the troops dancing: "Go up, go up, go up! The enemy's firearms are useless in the rain, and they will make achievements today. !"

The morale of the Shandong private army was greatly boosted, and each one was eager to do meritorious service. They rushed forward screaming, trying to tear the navy troops into pieces, and annihilated them on the street.

Liu Rengui found that the firearms were constantly malfunctioning due to the rain and their power was greatly reduced, making it difficult to completely suppress the enemy. He immediately ordered the Musketeers to split into two and retreat from the two wings.

Hundreds of strong soldiers were wrapped in iron armor, holding Mo Dao made of fine steel in both hands, allowing the oncoming enemy to rush to the front without blinking, ignoring the enemy's weapons On the iron armor, he stepped forward in an orderly manner according to the order, then raised his knife and chopped.

The blade is thick and heavy, which is good for chopping with force. The stainless steel material makes the blade tough and sharp. Under the chopping force, it can easily cut off the enemy's blade, armor, and body. The blade of the Modao team is like a forest and a wall. , crushing all the enemies in front of him, invincible.

The momentum of the rebels' charge was like waves beating on the reef. It seemed amazing, but in fact it could only splash water and foam all over the sky, while the reef remained motionless.

The Modao team marched in like a wall, and the place they passed was full of stumps and blood flowed into rivers. The rainwater diluted the blood and then meandered to the drainage ditches on both sides of Tianjie, leaving only pale red marks on the bluestone road. .

Cui Xin was shocked when he saw this, and quickly shouted: "Bowmen, crossbowmen suppress!"

The crossbowmen who had assembled in a hurry drew their bows and set arrows in a hurry, and shot towards the Modao array advancing like a wall in the distance. The messy arrows like migrating locusts fell obliquely into the Modao array through the rain in the air, and the arrow clusters There was a jingle on the iron armor, which could not hurt the slightest.

The Modao formation braved the rain on Tianjie, stepping steadily on the bluestone pavement under their feet. Wherever the bright Modao went, their heads were decapitated and their viscera were broken. They could face the cavalry charge and still die How can a rebel army with chaotic morale and insufficient equipment be able to stop the big killer that is resisted by death?

Liu Rengui personally supervised the formation behind the Modao formation, commanding a small number of cavalry to cruise on the two wings, while the main force of the Chinese army slowly followed at the end, advancing towards Chengtianmen at a slow but oppressive frequency.

Cui Xin panicked, if he couldn't stop Liu Rengui, if he broke into the Chengtian Gate, wouldn't it make Yu Chigong and Li Daozong who were storming the Wude Hall in the Taiji Palace into the shackles?
That would be a complete defeat!

In desperation, he pulled out the sword at his waist, raised his arms and shouted: "The victory or defeat is at hand. As long as we can stop the enemy army, the enemy army will collapse on its own when His Highness captures the Hall of Wude and captures the false emperor. Everyone!" Hold this breath, hold it!"

Hearing the words, the surrounding Shandong children also understood what it would mean if the mutiny failed, and they all bit the bullet and directed their subordinates to keep moving forward, trying to withstand the advance of the Modao formation.

Although Tianjie is known as the best street in the world, its width is limited after all, and it is not suitable for large-scale legion battles. The rebels have blocked the entire Tianjie, and more and more corpses have begun to delay the advance of Mo Daozhen. , making Modaozhen have to bear the pressure of the stormy waves hitting the shore every step forward.

For a while, the battle situation on Tianjie fell into anxiety. Although the rebels suffered more casualties, Liu Rengui's advance also began to be blocked, and the two sides were at a stalemate.

Around the Wude Hall, the battle was almost the same as that on Tianjie. Yu Chigong and Li Daozong continued to command their troops to storm the Wude Hall, using their flesh and blood to resist the firearms of the right guards. Tunwei's firearms began to malfunction, and their firepower was not as fierce as before. The rebels relied on their strength to overwhelm the right Tunwei.

A sudden heavy rain caused the situation on the battlefield to reverse a little bit.
